Abstract
Systems and methods for a device connected to a private network to efficiently retrieve a software/firmware update. The device may retrieve an update scheme that defines an external Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a resource external to the private network and a primary URI for a primary resource connected to the private network. The device may compare own Internet Protocol address and the primary URI to determine whether or not the device is the primary resource. When the device is the primary resource, the device may retrieve the software/firmware update from the external URI.
