Abstract
Packets received via ports coupled to network links are processed to determine target ports to which the packets are to be forwarded. Appropriate control paths in a network device are selected for processing multicast packets from among a plurality of different control paths having respective processing latencies, the different control paths providing alternative processing paths for processing control information for multicast packets. Multicast packets are further processed using the selected control paths.
