A method for determining a spanning tree topology, is described. The method includes the steps of detecting a network failure, resolving update of topology, and flushing a MAC table in a network component in response to detecting a network failure, wherein detecting of the network failure comprises receiving an error detection message from the physical layer of the network by the network component. A data communication network component, in particular a bridge, is provided with means for flushing a MAC table or data buffer of the network component in response to detecting a network failure.
