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 communication apparatus which includes a look-up table, a receiving/transmitting module, and a processing module. The processing module is electrically connected to the look-up table and the receiving/transmitting module respectively. The look-up table stores a plurality of controlling messages and first phone numbers. Each controlling message corresponds to one of the first phone numbers. The receiving/transmitting module receives an incoming call including a second phone number. The processing module determines if the second phone number matches one of the first phone numbers, and if yes, the processing module generates information on the basis of the controlling message corresponding to the matched first phone number, and according to the second phone number, transmits the information through the receiving/transmitting module.
