Recirculating a packet to multiple pipeline

[drobinkent]

Assume a tofino switch with n pieplines. If we recirculate a packet from a pipeline is it possible to send that recirculated packet to every pipeline?

@drobinkent -- recirculation in TNA is the same as sending a packet to a port that is in the loopback.

If you want to recirculate a packet so that the recirculated copy goes to each and every pipeline (i.e. you want to produce n copies of the packet) you can easily do that by sending a packet to a multicast group instead of a single unicast port.
