The objective of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus of sending address correspondence information and updating a MAC table in a data link layer protocol of applying Link State Routing for solving the problem that too much bandwidth is occupied by broadcasting address correspondence information solicitation in a data link layer of applying link state routing. Through adopting the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention, since besides the ingress network node, other network nodes also store address correspondence information in their address correspondence information tables, so when they receive an address correspondence information solicitation, they can directly reply with an address correspondence information response without broadcasting the solicitation, decreasing the bandwidth occupied by broadcasting address correspondence information solicitation in a data link layer of applying link state routing. |
