1. A network device comprising:
- a port configured to receive a data burst;
a bus transmission calculation module configured to inspect said data burst and, based upon a pattern of data blocks and one or more control words in said data burst, calculate a first number of bytes of said data burst to be transmitted from a first bus and a second number of bytes of said data burst to be transmitted from a second bus, wherein said first bus and said second bus connect to and transfer data from said network device.

Abstract
A network device includes a port and a bus transmission calculation module. The port is connected to the network device to receive a data burst. The bus transmission calculation module connects to the port for calculating a first number of bytes to be transmitted from a first bus and a second number of bytes to be transmitted from a second bus. The first and second bus connect to the network device and transfer data from the network device.
