17. Design for innovation! DFI Confidential July, 2006 16 Version 1.0 Features Communications: Dual GbE LAN with Teaming RLMT (Redundant Link Management Technology) Dual Link Ethernet Controllers provide two ports. Part of each driver is the Marvell® Redundant Link Management Technology (RLMT), which monitors the status of the ports. If the link of the active port fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. The virtual link is maintained as long as at least one ‘physical’ link is up. In advanced modes, RLMT additionally monitors the network path between the two ports and is able to detect and report network segmentation. Being part of the driver, this function is independent of the operating system.
