Abstract:
A network device includes a first network processor that forwards packets based on a first forwarding information table; a second network processor that forwards packets based on a second forwarding information table; a first group of ports operably connected to the first network processor; and a second group of ports operably connected to the second network processor. The first forwarding information table specifies that packets, received by the first network processor, that specify a destination device reachable by the first group of ports and the second group of ports are forwarded by a port of the first group of ports. The second forwarding information table specifies that packets, received by the second network processor, that specify the destination device reachable by the first group of ports and the second group of ports are forwarded by a port of the second group of ports.

Claim (Index 32):
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform  1  method of operating a network processor, the method comprising:\n receiving, at the network processor, a packet,\n wherein the packet has a destination reachable via a first path using a first egress port and via a second path using a second egress port, and \n wherein the first egress port is local to the network processor and the second egress port is a foreign egress port local to a second network processor; \n \n making a determination, using a first forwarding information table of the network processor, that the packet is to be forwarded from the first egress port instead of the second egress port; and \n transmitting, based on the determination, the packet from the first egress port.
