ABSTRACT:
A network device architecture comprising a fault-tolerant array of network processing modules, selectively coupled to trunk interface boards through main fabric switch(es) using high-bandwidth communication media and selectively coupled to any of a number of media processing modules using low-bandwidth communication media. Network content delivered to the network processing modules for network processing that contain media content are selectively coupled to any of the one or more media processing modules for additional media processing before passing the processed content to the next hop in the path towards the destination computing appliance.
