ABSTRACT:
A network device may include an input device and a packet forwarding engine. The input device receives a data packet. The packet forwarding engine includes logic configured to determine that the data packet is to be multicast. The logic is also configured to identify one of multiple forwarding schemes, where each of the forwarding schemes is configured such that the packet forwarding engine generates and forwards no more than two copies of the data packet.
