What happens if NetEqualizer fails, will our network go down?
NetEqualizer takes advantage of a mature feature already built into the Linux operating system called STP (spanning tree protocol). Two NetEqualizer s placed in parallel will automatically set up a master/slave relationship where one server will back the other. NetEqualizer s come pre-configured to take advantage of this feature. There are also some network switches on the market that will allow you to use STP and take over if the NetEqualizer ever failed.
