Entry Point

Description

Monitor 

Queries LLT to make a list of nodes visible on every LLT network interface. It applies various filters to the list to arrive at a most desired failover decision and calculates a "winner" device on which to configure the IP address. The "winner" is compared to the currently active device where the IP is currently configured; if the active and winner device are different, the agent fails over the device.
