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 ...

Thanks for STP. but one thing pops in my mind how does it stops a network loop in this scenario. A frame (source pc0/1, destination pc2/1) just entered my Switch(SW1) and then router(R1) then ...

Ethernet devices running the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) have been implemented in networks since the early 1990s. Many organizations take STP for granted and do not configure it per industry best ...

This blog post is simply an index page to the recent blog postings about the pros and cons of using a two switch topology to experiment with and learn about Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Part 1: The ...

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 ...

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 ...
