Abstract
One or more nodes of a network may be configured to provide substitute header information for insertion into a received data packet and then to retransmit the data packet with the modified header information to other network destinations. One or more other downstream nodes may be configured to do likewise, thus allowing a packet to proceed through a selected number of multiple destinations in the network without being shortened, and so that the number of control words required in each packet is reduced, in increasing data bandwidth for the network.
