Cisco BAC now extends the http file service so that it can read the firmware file from the DPE file system
or DPE cache
When the firmware image size is very large (say 100 MB), adding the file through RDU may not be
efficient. These files can be manually transferred to all the DPEs using tools such as scp, ftp and later
when device requests for these files, they can be transferred to the device from the DPE.
