ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of controlling the transmission of copies of a frame of data from a multiport device, such as a multiport network switch, determines which ones of the ports are designated to transmit a copy of a multicopy frame received at the switch. The switch then determines which of these designated ports are not available to transmit a copy of the frame. The copies are transmitted from those designated ports that are available to transmit a copy of the multicopy frame, while the copies are discarded for those designated ports that are not available to transmit a copy of that multicopy frame.
