ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for address mapping for data packet routing. An embodiment of a network controller includes an address filter, where the address filter is to receive a data packet that has a shared address for a plurality of devices as a destination. The network controller also includes a sideband filter to identify an intended recipient device for the packet based on information contained in the packet, and an address mapper to substitute an address for the intended recipient device in place of the shared address of the data packet.
