1. A method of distributing packets to multiple addressees comprising the steps of:

  • a) generating, for each addressee, a template packet which includes routing information for that addressee;

    b) using the routing information from the template packet to form a template for each addressee;

    c) maintaining, for each addressee, said template in a memory area;

    d) forming a data stream into a stream of data packet payloads;

    e) storing each data packet payload in a memory accessible to a packet processor; and

    f) applying the template for each addressee to each data packet payload to thereby generate a plurality of packets from every data packet payload each addressed to a different addressee without passing the data packet payload through a routing stack.
