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 ...

if you had two switches and you connected them together with an ethernet cable and then you connected another ethernet cable to those switches you would create a loop on the network this means an ...

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 ...

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 ...

While the history of Internet development involves many names and was not reliant on a single discovery, it is also true that certain innovations have done more to enable better networks for all. It ...

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 ...

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 ...
