Procedure for reducing packet loss during update of address table

摘要

The method involves deleting an address assignment stored in an address table (AT) of a computer in a local network, after expiration of a validity time. The assignment is newly read and registered into the address table, when data packets (DP) are sent to a computer address. Packets are temporarily stored in a buffer memory (P2) during update of the assignment. Size of memory is configured based on expected utilization of the network.
