Abstract
A multi-partition networking device comprising a primary partition running on a first set of hardware resources and a secondary partition running on a further set of hardware resources. The multi-partition networking device is arranged to operate in a first operating state, whereby the first set of hardware resources are in an active state and the primary partition is arranged to process network traffic, and the further set of hardware resources are in a standby state. The multi-partition networking device is further arranged to transition to a second operating state upon detection of a suspicious condition within the primary partition, whereby the further set of hardware resources are transitioned from a standby state to an active state, and to transition to a third operating state upon detection of a failure condition within the primary partition, whereby processing of network traffic is transferred to the secondary partition.
