Abstract
Aspects of the invention may include receiving a packet from a first of a plurality of blade servers coupled via a common bus. An identifier associated with a second blade server may be determined based on at least a portion of the received packet and at least a portion of the received packet may be routed to at least the second blade server. At least a portion of the received packet may be transferred to at least the second blade server via the common bus. Routing of at least a portion of the received packet may be controlled by a switch blade which may also be coupled to the common bus. In order to route information in the server, an identifier of the first blade server, the second blade server and the switch blade may be determined. Exemplary identifiers may be a MAC address and/or an IP address.
