A network device for loop detection in a network environment, which includes a broadcast frame detection unit for detecting a broadcast storm condition, a loop detection frame generation unit for generating and transmitting a loop detection frame if the broadcast storm condition detected by the broadcast frame detection unit indicates a broadcast storm happens, a frame parser unit for parsing a network frame received by the network device to obtain an information from the network frame, and a loop checking unit for comparing the network frame with the loop detection frame based on the information obtained from the network frame. |
