Abstract
A router for transmitting data packets to and receiving data packets from N interfacing peripheral devices. The router comprises a plurality of processors that exchange data packets with each other over a common bus. A source processor transmits a data packet to a destination processor by storing the data packet in an output queue associated with the source processor and transmits an interrupt message to the destination processor. The destination processor, in response to the interrupt message, reads the data packet from the output queue.
