Abstract
Systems, methods, devices and techniques can be used in networks including resilient packet ring networks and other types of ring topology networks to accelerate the learning of bridge/client mapping information. Once certain bridge/client mapping information is learned, and indicator can be set to cause subsequent transmissions to particular clients to be flooded to all stations on a ring network instead of being transmitted directly to the target station. Additionally, forced flooding can be triggered at regular or irregular intervals to further enhance the learning process.
