2.4 EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF ROUTER PORTS
If a routing switch with a larger number of SpaceWire (or external) ports is required then this can be accomplished by joining together two or more routers using some of the SpaceWire links. For example using two SpaceWire links to join together two router devices would create an effective router with twelve SpaceWire ports and four external ports. Note, however, that an extra path addressing byte is needed to route packets between the two routers and that there is additional routing delay.
