Claim 14:
15. An apparatus comprising:
a core; and
a router comprising:
a first port set comprising:
an input port to receive first circuit-switched data from the core; and
an output port to provide second circuit-switched data to the core;

a second port set comprising an output port to receive a first portion of the first circuit-switched data from the core over a first set of signal lines dedicated to communicate circuit-switched data from the input port of the first port set to the output port of the second port set; and
a third port set comprising an output port to receive a second portion of the first circuit-switched data from the core over a second set of signal lines dedicated to communicate circuit-switched data from the input port of the first port set to the output port of the third port set, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the first circuit-switched data are received simultaneously by the output port of the second port set and the output port of the third port set, and wherein the first portion and second portion of the first circuit-switched data are distinct portions of the first circuit-switched data.
