ABSTRACT:
A switching module has external ports for sending and receiving data packets and mesh interfaces for internal mesh connections with other modules. A switching engine directs packets to one or other of the mesh interfaces according to the port number of a ‘destination’ or egress port on another module, as determined by a lookup. The port numbers are programmable so that the distribution of traffic through the mesh connections can be modified.
