Abstract: A system and method of synchronizing a routing system having an active subsystem actively processing within the routing system and a standby subsystem. The method includes the steps of specifying an address or range of addresses of data to be synchronized within the routing system, detecting a write to main memory of the active subsystem, and comparing an address of the detected write to main memory of the active subsystem with the specified address or range of addresses. Next, the address and data of the detected write to main memory are stored in a First In First Out (FIFO) queue of the active subsystem if the address of the detected write to main memory matches the specified address or range of addresses. The address and data of the detected write to main memory are sent to the standby subsystem where the data and address are written to the main memory of the standby subsystem.
