A memory (203) stores destination addresses and a counter value for each of the stored addresses. A counter value for a stored address is incremented in response to receiving a message having a destination address matching the stored address. A controller (202) determines a destination address of a received message and searches the stored addresses for a stored address matching the destination address of the received message. The received message may be a message in a multicast stream. The search includes searching the stored addresses starting with a stored address having a highest counter value and searching subsequent stored addresses, each subsequently searched stored address having a lower counter value.
