How Spanning Tree Works Spanning Tree is a forwarding protocol for data packets. It’s one part traffic cop and one part civil engineer for the network highways that data travels through.

Spanning tree protocol is an essential function of Ethernet networks, and it provides several useful capabilities when used properly. However, STP can cause havoc when a network carrying live video is ...

PROJECT ABSTRACT 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 ...

Spanning Tree Protocol, supported on most bridges and switches, is the tried and tested method for providing path redundancy while eliminating loops in bridged networks. Loops create never-ending ...

Guys, 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 ...

Layer 2 Spanning Tree Protocol STP, first introduced as a proprietary protocol in 1985 by Digital Equipment Corporation, has a simple requirement: Keep LANs loop free. In the absence of a control ...

It is with that idea in mind that we’d like to profile the achievements made by Radia Perlman, the inventor of spanning tree protocol (STP) and a 2016 inductee into the National Inventors Hall ...

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 ...
