Network devices, systems, and methods are provided for packet processing. One network device includes a network chip including logic and a number of network ports for the device for receiving and transmitting packets therefrom. The logic is operable to group a number of ports into a membership group based on a criteria, and define a filter index in association with a network packet to indicate the membership group.
