Abstract
Examples relate to virtual channel routing in networks considering VC actions to be performed by the packets while routed through the network. A packet is received at an input port of a network device of a network and an output port and a VC action is determined from a routing table associated to the input port based on a packet's destination network device. A VC mask is determined from a Virtual Channel Action Table (VCAT), associated to the routing table, based on a packet's ingress VC and the VC action. A particular VC among the set of VCs defined in the VC mask is selected and the packet is routed to the destination network device using the output port and the particular VC.
