Abstract
The disclosed system and method provides a software package header that includes a copy of a firmware file header for a firmware file constituent of the software package. The package header is provided to a network service device such as a gateway as an initial portion of a software package to perform a firmware installation. The package header content is used to validate firmware files expected to be received and installed by the network service device. The package header structure permits all firmware files to be validated prior to the installation of any of the firmware files, while avoiding the use of additional network service device resources.
