Abstract
Methods and systems are described for handling traffic in a network system in which a data path loop has been detected. Upon detection of a set of loopy ports, transmission of data packets through these loopy ports may be intelligently controlled through the balancing of data packets accepted or dropped by each port and/or the designation of a favored loopy port for each entry in a bridge table. By selectively and intelligently transmitting data packets through loopy ports, the method and systems described herein ensure that a single loopy port is not overly utilized and load balancing may be realized across the set of loopy ports.
