A method for processing packets, in a network device including at least one processing engine that i) is not configured to process destination information that conforms to a first protocol and ii) is configured to process destination information that conforms to a second protocol, includes receiving a packet at the network device, and determining, in the network device, first destination information included in the packet. The first destination information conforms to the first protocol. The method also includes generating, in the network device, second destination information conforming to a third protocol based on the first destination information. The method also includes generating, in the network device, third destination information conforming to the second protocol based on the second destination information. The method also includes processing the packet with the at least one processing engine included in the network device using the third destination information. |

1. A method for processing packets in a network device including at least one processing engine that i) is not configured to process destination information that conforms to a first protocol and ii) is configured to process destination information that conforms to a second protocol, the method comprising:
receiving a packet at the network device; determining, in the network device, first destination information included in the packet, wherein the first destination information i) conforms to the first protocol, and ii) corresponds to a first destination; generating, in the network device, second destination information based on the determined first destination information, wherein the second destination information i) conforms to a third protocol, ii) corresponds to a second destination, and iii) includes a media access control (MAC) address, wherein the second destination is a first intermediate destination between the network device and the first destination; generating, in the network device, third destination information using the generated second destination information, wherein the third destination information conforms to the second protocol; and processing the packet with the at least one processing engine included in the network device using the third destination information. |
