A host fabric adapter is disclosed. Embodiments include a high-speed serial expansion bus and at least two fabric ports configured to receive links from corresponding ports of at least two switches, each of which comprise corresponding switches in parallel and independent topologies. The host fabric adapter includes at least two packet processing pipelines configured for reception and transmission of packets through the fabric ports; a PCIe switch configured to receive a packet on the expansion bus and select a pipeline for transmission and configured to receive a packet from one of the pipelines and transmit the packet on the expansion bus. The host fabric adapter also includes a fabric switch configured to receive a packet from one of the fabric ports and select a pipeline for transmission to the PCIe switch and to receive a packet on one of the pipelines; and select one of the fabric ports for transmission of the packet on the fabric.
