| 发明名称 | Methods and systems for managing distribute media access control address tables | ||
| 摘要 | Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for switching a network packet. One method includes operations for receiving a packet having a media access control (MAC) address, and for switching the packet by a first packet switching device (PSD) when the MAC address is present in a first memory. Further, the method includes operations for transferring the packet to a second PSD when the MAC address is absent from the first memory and present in a second memory associated with the second PSD, and for transferring the packet to a third PSD when the MAC address is absent from the first memory and the second memory. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for switching a network packet, the method comprising: receiving a packet having a media access control (MAC) address; switching the packet by a first packet switching device (PSD) when the MAC address is present in a first memory; transferring the packet to a second PSD when the MAC address is absent from the first memory; switching the transferred packet by the second PSD when the MAC address is present in a second memory associated with the second PSD; and transferring the packet to a third PSD when the MAC address is absent from the first memory and the second memory, wherein the first memory has a smaller size than the second memory and the second memory has a smaller size than a third memory coupled to the third PSD. | ||
