ABSTRACT:
An interface located on a network switch transmits header information to an external device that makes data forwarding decisions. The interface receives and transmits header information that includes the source and destination address of the data. The external device generates data forwarding information and transmits the information back to the switch via the interface device. The network switch uses the information obtained via the interface and forwards the data packets to the appropriate destination.
