Abstract
Methods and systems for switching a network packet at a switching device are provided. One method includes operations for receiving a packet having a media access control (MAC) address, and for switching the packet by a switch fabric if the MAC address is present in one or more memories associated with the switch fabric. The method also includes operation for switching the packet by a network device operating system (ndOS) if the MAC address is absent from the one or more memories.
