Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to an integrated circuit configured to route multicast data packets using device vectors. A method according to one embodiment may include communicating with an external device using port. The method may also include storing a multicast data packet and a master device vector in memory. The method may also include de-queueing the master device vector from memory, generating an additional device vector based on the master device vector, and transmitting the multicast data packet and an additional device vector to an external device via a port. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
