This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18981161 titled 'MULTI-LEVEL PORT TRANSLATION FOR ROUTING IN NETWORKS
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples described herein relate to performing source routing of a packet to route the packet from a source to a destination through multiple routers by specification of a path of logical port identifiers through the multiple routers. In some examples, multiple routers are to translate the logical port identifiers into physical ports based on configurations. In some examples, the path of the packet through the multiple routers is based on a topology of the routers.
