Example systems and methods associated with detecting bridging loops are described. One example apparatus includes a preliminary detection logic to detect a bridging loop in a switched network based on examining MAC moves reported by a switch in the switched network. The apparatus may also include a confirmation detection logic to confirm the bridging loop by controlling a probe to be sent into the switched network and determining that the probe looped through the switched network. The apparatus may also include a response logic to selectively control switches in the network to break the bridging loop by selectively blocking data plane traffic while allowing control plane traffic.
