Abstract
A network switch configured for switching data packets across multiple ports uses an address table to generated frame forwarding information. The switch receives frame information including a source address and destination address along with a virtual local area network (VLAN) ID, if applicable. A decision-making engine searches a network address table to 'learn' Medium Access Control (MAC) addresses without having to store receive port numbers by embedding the receive port number in the stored port vector fields.
