Abstract
A method and device for processing data cells are disclosed. The method includes: configuring a unicast routing table which includes a corresponding relation between unicast destination addresses and port trunking (Trunks), and a multicast routing table which includes a corresponding relation between multicast group addresses and Trunks; receiving data cells; determining a corresponding Trunk according to types of the data cells, if the data cell is a unicast cell, extracting a destination address of the unicast cell, querying the unicast routing table, and obtaining a Trunk corresponding to the unicast cell; and if the data cell is a multicast cell, extracting a multicast group address of the multicast cell, querying the multicast routing table, and obtaining one or more Trunks corresponding to the multicast cell; and selecting an output link from the determined Trunks according to a preset load balancing policy, and sending data cells through the selected output link.
