Abstract: A method and apparatus for flushing port tables in an Ethernet network that includes a Root Bridge node (1) and a plurality of bridge nodes (2-7). A ring of bridge nodes affected by a change in the topology of the Ethernet network is identified from the plurality of, bridge nodes. The ring of bridge nodes (2-7) includes a branching bridge node (2) providing a connection to the Root Bridge node (1). Port tables are flushed only at the bridge nodes on the ring (2-7), rather than all of the bridge nodes in the Ethernet network, which greatly reduces the amount of signalling required during a relearning process.
