Abstract
According to some embodiments, operation of a multi-processor system is facilitated via a resolved symbolic constant. For example, configuration information may be determined at a management processor of a multi-processor network router adapted to receive and transmit network packets. A symbolic constant may be resolved at the management processor in a standard program based on the configuration information. It may then be arranged for another processor of the multi-processor network router to execute an executable version of the standard program in accordance with the resolved symbolic constant.
