ABSTRACT:
A funnel in fan out network device includes a fast uplink port operating at a first data rate. A plurality of slow ports operate at a second data rate. The second data rate is slower than the first data rate. A processor is configured to direct a packet received on one of the slower ports directly to the fast uplink port without looking up the destination address of the packet.
