APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ROUTING PROCESSING IN DISTRIBUTED ROUTER

摘要

A distributed router includes: a number of ports adapted to be connected to peers via a network, to receive messages containing packets and entry information from the peers, and to output the packets for transmission to destinations; a switching fabric adapted to switch the packets received through the respective ports to output the packets to corresponding output ports; and at least one line card adapted to extract the entry information of the peers from the messages received via the input ports, to process the entry information according to a preset routing protocol to determine a best route, and to output the packets received from the peers through the corresponding output ports according to the best route.
