Fault Management

The fault management in Bonfire is divided into two levels:

• Local Fault management:

• FIFO (with packet dropping)

• LBDR with packet dropping

• Global Fault management:

Fig. 1 demonstrates the overview of the router with credit-based flow control and packet dropping support both at FIFO and LBDR.
