ABSTRACT:
A network switching device includes multiple ports, multiple switching processors, and a table manager. The switching processors respectively have an address table, a output port specification module, an update requirement determination module, and a table update module. The output port specification module refers to a destination address in received data and the address table and specifies a output port for sending the data among the multiple ports. The update requirement determination module determines requirement for update of the address table with regard to a source address in the data. The table manager has an update detail acquisition module and an update request module. Upon determination of the requirement for update of the address table, the update detail acquisition module obtains an update detail of the address table from one of the switching processors. The update request module sends an update request to the switching processors, based on the update detail.
