Switching loop: Broadcasts, MAC database instability & TTL

A switching loop or bridge loop occurs in computer networks when there is more than one layer 2 path between two endpoints (e.g., multiple connections between two network switches or two ports on the same switch connected to each other). The loop creates broadcast storms as broadcasts and multicasts are forwarded by switches out every port, the switch or…
