Abstract

See full text

A network device includes a content addressable memory (CAM). The CAM may be accessed by a host processor. The host processor stores active device addresses in the CAM. Each device address is associated with one of the network switch ports. If the network switch receives a packet having a source address not presently stored in the CAM, the network switch adds the source address to the CAM. If the CAM is full of source addresses, the new source address replaces a selected one of the old source addresses.
