What do bridges and switches use to make data forwarding decision?

Bridges and switches use MAC (Media Access Control) addresses to make data forwarding decisions. When a frame is received, they examine the destination MAC address and consult their MAC address table, which maps MAC addresses to specific ports. If the address is found, the device forwards the frame to the corresponding port; if not, it typically broadcasts the frame to all ports except the one it was received on. This process helps efficiently direct data traffic within a local area network.
