Abstract
Packet-level multicasting may be used to avoid the cell header and the memory size problems. One or more multicast control cells may be appended before one or more data cells of a multicast packet to carry multicast bitmap information. The control cell may be stored at the cell memory. This approach is suitable for a multi-plane, multi-stage packet switch.
