Abstract
A multiprocessor switching device substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described in connection with a parallel routing scheme for calculating routing information for incoming packets. Using the programmable hash and route routing scheme, a hash and route circuit can be programmed for a variety of applications, such as routing, flow-splitting or load balancing.
