Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and a device for periodically processing entries in a communication device. Background technique
[0002] In the field of network communication technology, it often involves the need to regularly process the entries in a certain table, for example, for each dynamically maintained MAC address in the MAC (Media Access Control) address table in the switch Table entries need to be aged regularly. Similarly, there are other entries in the network communication equipment that have similar processing requirements to the MAC address table, such as frame buffer address management. For the allocated frame buffer address, if a certain If the frame buffer address allocated by this abnormal situation cannot be returned, then only protective measures are taken, that is, if the frame buffer address is not returned within the specified time (ie, the aging time threshold), ...
