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 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein selecting, by the NP, the nexthop index comprises:\n performing a hash on at least a portion of the packet to obtain a hash value; and selecting the nexthop index from the plurality of nexthop indexes using the hash value.
