Abstract
The present disclosure describes apparatuses and techniques for low-power alternate firmware. In some aspects, data packets are received from a network interface via a reduced-feature-set network stack implemented on a subset of hardware. The reduced-feature-set network stack is used to respond to some of the data packets. When a determination is made that the reduced-feature-set network stack is not capable of responding to others of the data packets, an increased-feature-set network stack is implemented via another subset of the hardware.
