ABSTRACT:
An integrated processor-controlled router and switch fabric architecture provides connectivity between local area network (LAN) ports of an Ethernet switch serving a plurality of local area network users and a wide area network (WAN) port that provides connectivity with the internet. The integrated switch fabric treats the processor interface back to the router as though it were a regular LAN port; as a result, all incoming (WAN-to-LAN) traffic and all outgoing (LAN-to-WAN) traffic relative to the processor interface can be mirrored to any LAN port of the Ethernet switch.
