Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention described herein, discloses a method and system for managing a communication network using any loop avoidance or mitigation technology. The restoration of network under fault, or sub-optimal network condition, maintenance and improvement of network connectivity and network behaviour is based upon GET and POST commands. In one embodiment of the present invention, the restoration mechanism is used to maintain or improve network connectivity and network behaviour or function upon receipt of command from management plane or control plane to build optimal network condition (e.g: minimum hops, maximum bandwidth, etc.) for data traffic, within a communication network of any topology.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for optimizing forwarding database (FDB Table) in a bursty traffic computer network environment. In one embodiment herein there is provided a small lookup table that is created by manually filling static entries of nodes, and by filling dynamic entries that are automatically made by the switch while learning and forwarding process. A MAC address is looked in the small lookup table first, and upon finding the said address, the same is used for forwarding a packet. The MAC address may be copied from the FDB Table into the small lookup table upon not finding the said address into the small lookup table.
