Abstract
An illustrative method of the present application is for use in updating an application program in memory of a network device. An application program having a length Lis initially stored in memory of the network device from a memory address Ato a memory address A. A download procedure is performed by the network device to receive an updated application program having a length L>LThis updated application program is stored in the memory from a memory address A=A+(L−L) for the length L, and continuing in a circular buffer fashion from the memory address Afor the length L−L. The application program is then copied over with the updated application program beginning at the memory address A. With this technique, if a failure occurs while copying over the application program, no portion of the original updated application program will be written over.
