Abstract
A packet forwarding mechanism using a packet map is disclosed. The method includes the packet map storing a packet forwarding information of each packet, where the packet map uses a single bit to indicate whether a packet is forwarding through a specific output port. In this way, the packet forwarding information can be stored in a very simple form such that less memory space is required for storing the packet forwarding information.
