Abstract
The present disclosure relates to priority-based Media Access Control (MAC) learning on a Layer 2 Switch reducing flood probability of higher priority bidirectional unicast traffic when the MAC table is full. The proposed approach dynamically maintains the priority of the MAC addresses based on real-time traffic which is used to prioritize MAC learning for higher priority traffic without much manual intervention. The proposed approach adds high-priority traffic to the MAC table, so when the MAC table is full, the high-priority bi-directional unicast traffic will not flood into the Layer 2 domain which reduces the traffic drop probability of the high priority into the Layer 2 network. This approach leads to more reliable delivery of high priority traffic in Layer 2 networks.
