ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for routing data packets from a current network node toward a destination node where the current node and the destination node are connected to first and second networks in a multiple network communication system. The method involves determining the destination node of the data packet, determining which of a plurality of outputs connected to the first and second networks are suitable to advance the data packet toward the destination node, determining queue lengths of output buffers associated with respective outputs of the plurality of outputs and forwarding the data packet to an output buffer having the least queue length, for transmission over a network to which the output associated with the output buffer is connected.
