1. A switching device, comprising:
a plurality of ports; and a plurality of switch cores disposed on one or more integrated circuits; wherein:
a first switch core in the plurality of switch cores is configured to:
receive network data frames only via a first subset of the plurality of ports, the first subset corresponding to the first switch core,perform an ingress processing operation on a first network data frame received at a first port in the first subset, including determining that the first network data frame is to be transmitted via a second port in a second subset of the plurality of ports, the second subset corresponding to a second switch core, anddirect, after ingress processing of the first network data frame, at least i) first header information corresponding to the first network data frame and ii) an identifier of the second port to the second switch core in the plurality of switch cores;the second switch core being configured to:
perform an egress processing operation on the first network data frame,direct the first network data frame to the second port in the second subset of the plurality of ports using the identifier of the second port, wherein none of the ports in the second subset are in the first subset, andtransmit the first network data frame via the second port. |
