Hi Guenter

I don't know about your chip, but the public data sheet for the
88e6060 talks about being able to set the age time globally in the ATU
control register. The granularity is not so good, multiple of 16
seconds, so it could be the hardware bridge times out an entry faster
than the software bridge.
