    Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions configured to cause a processor to receive, from an access switch, a first signal including forwarding state information associated with a first peripheral processing device from a set of peripheral processing devices. The code can further represent instructions configured to cause the processor to receive, from the first peripheral processing device, a second signal including a data packet. The code can further represent instructions configured to cause the processor to send, to a replication engine associated with the set of peripheral processing devices, a third signal such that the replication engine (1) defines a copy of the data packet, which is included within the third signal, and (2) sends, to a second peripheral processing device from the set of peripheral processing devices, a fourth signal including the copy of the data packet.
