ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are system and method for controlling a network traffic. According to the invention, all switches connected with the same VLAN are allowed to share an inherent ID of each switch, a port ID connecting the switches and information about a bandwidth so as to calculate an optimized path that each switch is connected to other switches. For doing so, each switch is systematically structured to comprise a computation module capable of structuring a neighbor relation with other switches, a computation module capable of exchanging/sharing the switch state D/B with the other switches, and synchronizing a corresponding switch state D/B, a computation module capable of creating/updating a switching table, and a computation module capable of switching and flooding a received data frame through an optimized path with reference to the created/updated switching table.
