Abstract
A system includes a plurality of network devices and an external memory. Each network device includes an address table. The external memory includes a group of address tables corresponding to the address tables of the network devices. The system monitors the address table associated with each of the network devices, detects whether one of the address tables has been updated, and updates the corresponding address table in the external memory in response to detecting an update to one of the address tables.
