ABSTRACT:
A direction of travel of a packet at a switch in an interconnection fabric that has multiple switches with ports is determined. A next turn pointer in the packet is used to identify turn bits in a routing path. The turn bits are then used to select an exit port as a function of the direction of travel of the packet.
