Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a communication network bridge is disclosed. The bridge receives a message frame from a first network connected thereto and reads the source and destination addresses of the received frame. The bridge determines if the addresses are contained in a source address table maintained thereby and if both addresses are present, discards the frame. The bridge transmits the frame to a second network connected thereto if the source address is not in the table or if the source address but not the destination address is in the table.
