Abstract
Embodiments of the apparatus of identifying internal destinations of network packets relate to a network chip that allows flexibility in handling packets. The handling of packets can be a function of what the packet contents are or where the packets are from. The handling of packets can also be a function of both what the packet contents are and where the packets are from. In some embodiments, where the packets are from refers to unique port numbers of chip ports that the packets arrived at. The packets can be distributed for processing within the network chip.
