ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide an address that does not conflict with other addresses. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a first processor, a first packet; determining as a function of a multidimensional space for representing addresses processed by a set of data processors, a first address for the first packet; forwarding the first packet based on the determined first address.
