A method for MAC address management is provided. A MAC address is provided, and capacities of a first column and a second column corresponding to a first index in a MAC table are checked. If the first column and the second column are filled, capacities of a third column and a fourth column corresponding to a second index in the MAC table are checked. If one of the third and fourth columns is empty, the MAC address is written thereto. The second index is successive to the first index. The MAC table further comprises a plurality of time stamp columns, recording idle time of each MAC address.

Systems and methods for packet forward control. The system comprises a plurality of ports and a processing module configured to receive a packet. The processing module comprises a resource management module and a forward control module. The resource management module detects whether congestion occurs on at least one specific port among the ports. The forward control module determines whether the specific port comprises a predetermined port within the ports, and if so, forwards the packet to at least one of the ports excepting the predetermined port.

The invention provides a method for implementing varying service quality grades in a network switch. First, a plurality of users of the network switch is classified into a plurality of service quality grades according to a contributing factor of the plurality of the users. Each of the plurality of users is then connected to the network switch via one of a plurality of ports of the network switch according to its service quality grade. An original priority of a packet in the network switch is then determined. An adjusted priority of the packet is then determined according to both the original priority of the packet and a priority adjustment table of an ingress port of the packet. Each of the plurality of ports has a corresponding priority adjustment table, and each of the priority adjustment tables includes a mapping relationship between the original priority and the adjusted priority.
