Abstract

A network element comprises a plurality of routing circuits coupled by internal communication circuitry.
Each routing circuit comprises one or more external ports for communicating with external devices, one or more internal ports for communicating with other of the routing circuits, a database for storing address and path information received via the internal and external ports and circuitry for retransmitting address information received from an external device to other of the routing circuits.
