SBS Technologies has announced VD-FOE ethernet port failover software for the VxWorks real-time operating system.

The software provides port failover for gigabit ethernet network interface cards using the VxWorks real-time operating system.

It eliminates single point of failure by allowing the system to failover from one port on an ethernet network to a port on another independent ethernet network with little or no disruption to the user.

It is designed for networks in which the failover port cable connections provide two independent routes to a destination host with no risk of packet loop around. It pairs two ethernet ports so that the operating system views them as a single port represented by one hardware ethernet address and one software IP address.

If an active port fails during data transmission, the route is automatically switched to its paired port without interruption.
