Abstract
An apparatus for improving communication between network devices in a cluster. is provided. A filter is used to pre-process packets to determine if they need to be further processed by the processor of the network device. If true, the packets are presented on a bus either in real time or buffered and presented at time intervals. A synch component is used to pre-process packets to determine if they are associated with synchronization information, management information, filter configuration information.
