1. A method comprising:

  • dequeuing buffered packet information having an associated multicast count of greater than one;

    determining whether stored packet data corresponding to the buffered packet information exceeds a first threshold;

    when the stored packet data corresponding to the buffered packet information exceeds the first threshold;

    decrementing the multicast count by one;

    copying the buffered packet information and the stored packet data, andforming one packet from the copied packet information and the copied packet data; and

    when the stored packet data corresponding to the buffered packet information does not exceed the first threshold and the multicast count does not exceed a second threshold, where the multicast count equals a number Y and Y is an integer greater than one;

    forming, from the buffered packet information and the stored packet data, Y number of packets.
