The use of switched network environments to forward digital data transmission packets known as frames is a very basic concept in networking and telecommunications. Network switches work to direct ...

Jeff Hardee introduced me to the idea of using longer Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) path length values for high-speed links. I thought this was an intriguing idea and so I started to do some informal ...

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 ...

Ok, so my first question is would an issue with spanning tree affect the response time with a ping? I have a switch that is doing some weird stuff and my employees keep complaining about slowness with ...

We find an infinitely-connected graph in which every spanning tree has a 2-way infinite path. This disproves Halin's well-known "end-faithful spanning tree" conjecture and also disproves a recent ...

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 ...

An algorithm that runs in network bridges and switches to prevent loops, in which packets keep going around in circles. In a small network with one or two switches, the spanning tree protocol (STP) ...

On the network on which I work, the spanning tree protocol hello time is set to 2 seconds. After doing a few sniff sessions in some of the different vlans, i'm beginning to wonder if this setting is ...
