Abstract
A method and apparatus for network protocol bridging is disclosed. In one embodiment, data packets are received from a first network interface having a first protocol. A packet processing engine, which is comprised of both hardware and software components, is then used to perform a route lookup operation for each packet received, where the route lookup operation provides route information for the data packets. Based on this route information obtained from the route lookup operation, the packet processing engine routes the data packets through an internal fabric interface and to a second network interface having a second protocol.
