ABSTRACT:
An interconnect device (e.g., a switch) includes a port operably coupled to a packet broadcaster for routing unicast and/or multicast packets of data in packet-based input/output communications. For an inbound packet, at least two combinations of a source port and one or more destination ports, and one or more destination paths associated with each of said one or more destination ports may be determined by the packet broadcaster in a single lookup of a memory (e.g., a random access memory).
