Abstract(in English) This paper describes a proposal of forwarding database (FDB) update method in large scale InfiniBand system. In InfiniBand, FDB in the network is updated by each switch, then switches which have old or new FDB are mixed. In this situation, it is possible that FDB update process generates unreachable or looped paths between nodes. In order to resolve this problem, we propose FDB update method with no unreachable and looped path. In the evaluation, the implementation of proposed method made no unreachable and looped paths in FDB update process though OpenSM made several looped paths. The number of management packets used by proposed method was in practical range although it was larger than by OpenSM.
