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) ...

Abstract: Currently implemented Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) cannot meet the requirement of load balancing due to its poor bandwidth utilization and lack of multiple path capability. In this paper we ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper deals with iterative formation control problems for multi-agent systems with switching topologies. Our approach combines consensus protocol algorithms conducted with an iterative ...

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 ...

This assignment was done as part of the COL334 course requirements. The objective of the assignment is to get familiar with the OpenFlow APIs and implement key networking policies : Hub Controller, ...
