ABSTRACT:
The router disclosed herein employs a plurality of forwarding processors and a matrix switch for selectively connecting input ports, output ports and the forwarding processors. Each of the input ports includes means for selecting a respective forwarding processor for each incoming data packet in accordance with data in the respective packet header and for transmitting the packet header to the selected forwarding processor. The selected forwarding processor operates to transmit to the originating input port the identity of an output port appropriate for the packet's next hop.
