Description
Quote rednectar.chris:
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the way the IOS code does timing
- if it times 300 seconds by way of a system clock then I guess dynamips is
not emulating that clock well enough. If it is some other arbitrary timing
measure then it would be a difficult job to trace.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the related forum topic and the NM-16ESW MAC address table behavior. Investigate whether the 300-second aging period depends on Dynamips' system clock or another timing mechanism. Done means the MAC address table retains entries for the expected lifetime and ages them consistently.
