yup, yet another one... rare/freertr also can do route processor redundancy...
(it have config syncing, single master election, etc, etc, much like you 
expect in brand boxes...)
https://files.fm/f/y6hcpz4js from http://www.freertr.org/present.html showing 
it off...
in practice, you can create an instance with exactly the same interfaces, but 
at different hosts...
it's easy nowadays as in -hw you can describe anything, and the p4emu process 
also hides the names:

a moment later, after stopping the vdc at the original node, i see the 
following:

that is, the rp now lives on a different node, and the associated forwarder 0 
have different interface names...

such a setup also would be impossible with names in the p4lang server....
