I am amazed by the number of networks that I encounter that do not have optimal spanning tree configurations. I first read Radia Perlman’s book “Interconnections” back in 1994. I am amazed that 15 ...

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 ...

Independent spanning trees, often realised as completely independent spanning trees (CISTs), form a foundational concept in network design and routing. They consist of multiple spanning trees ...

I'm setting up some new equipment and I'm wondering about a couple details related to spanning tree. This is the first time I'm doing anything but the simplest setup with a switch. 1x Dell iSCSI ...

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 ...

This paper considers the problem of determining the mean and distribution of the length of a minimal spanning tree (MST) on an undirected graph whose arc lengths are independently distributed random ...
