This invention includes methods and packet switches that translate a packet between a switching format and a transport format. One packet switch receives a packet intended for a destination port of a packet switch from a switching fabric of the packet switch and determines, based on the destination port, a treatment to be applied to the packet. The packet switch then applies the treatment to the packet prior to forwarding the packet to the destination port. The treatment may include adding a transport identifier to the packet.
