A flexible approach for lookup table configuration is proposed. In this scheme, a predetermined path is setup in parallel by several unicast+setup packets. Compared with other approaches, our scheme eliminates the overhead of configuration bus by adding little logic to existing multicast router based on lookup table. This extension makes any-shaped path setup possible, which benefits fault-tolerance on Network-on-Chip (NoC).
