Our project intends to evaluate and compare the performances of STP and RSTP on Cisco switches supported by OPNET. We were planning to do the comparison of STP with more other types such as Multiple ...

Spanning Tree Protocol is the tried and tested method for providing path redundancy while eliminating loops in bridged networks. Spanning Tree Protocol, supported on most bridges and switches, is the ...

This memo defines an SMIv2 MIB module for managing the Rapid Spanning Tree capability defined by the IEEE P802.1t and P802.1w amendments to IEEE Std 802.1D-1998 for bridging between Local Area Network ...

On a small network (<250 users) I had a user buy a 5-port Linksys switch and uplink (via 2 cables) to Ethernet ports on the wall. This caused an infinite loop that caused some problems for the site, ...

The Spanning Tree Protocol, sometimes just referred to as Spanning Tree, is the Waze or MapQuest of modern Ethernet networks, directing traffic along the most efficient route based on real-time ...

Computing researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have developed a new loop-avoidance protocol that solves a key challenge faced in switched networks, including many of the data center ...

Does anyone have any experience with RSTP and could they share what kind of convergence times they are seeing in the presence of link faults? I've heard that vanilla spanning tree convergence time is ...
