Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for moving packets on a network device. One method includes receiving packets to a number of network chips, the number of network chips having a conduit port which can be selectively chosen to exchange packets with a processor responsible for processing packets. The method includes adding data for additional functionality to certain packets. Adding data includes encapsulating the certain packets to maintain an appearance of a certain packet format.
