摘要:
Network interconnection apparatus comprising a platform with interface ports for network interconnection and comprising in turn a first series and a second series of interface port cards and an interconnection unit for commanded interconnection at least between the cards of the first and second series and between cards of the first series. The cards of the first series have their own associated MAC address tables for addressing traffic between ports through the interconnection unit. Each entry of the table has an age field defining in time the age of the entry. The content of the age field is periodically verified and if it reaches a preset maximum figure the entry is updated on the basis of the content of the age field by a corresponding entry in the table of another card of the first series and associated therewith by the information in the entry to be updated. If the content of the age field of the corresponding entry is also a maximum figure, both the entries can be deleted.
