Embodiments of the present invention relate to a centralized table aging module that efficiently and flexibly utilizes an embedded memory resource, and that enables and facilitates separate network controllers. The centralized table aging module performs aging of tables in parallel using the embedded memory resource. The table aging module performs an age marking process and an age refreshing process. The memory resource includes age mark memory and age mask memory. Age marking is applied to the age mark memory. The age mask memory provides per-entry control granularity regarding the aging of table entries.
