Spanning Tree Protocol is the tried and tested method for providing path redundancy while eliminating loops in bridged networks.

About a week ago I was talking with Jeff Hardee and he brought to my attention the idea of using long Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) path length. He asked me if other enterprises were using the new ...

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 ...

The spanning tree algorithm is used with Ethernet switches to routinely remove loop circuits. If these loops weren’t removed, a single IP packet carrying video could loop endlessly while consuming ...

Inventor: Radia Perlman Invention: Spanning-tree algorithm — 1983 The story: The spanning-tree algorithm, used by all bridges and switches to route traffic from one point to another, is credited ...

We consider a generalization of the classical minimum spanning tree problem called the generalized minimum spanning tree problem and denoted by GMST problem. It is known that the GMST problem belongs ...

Two algorithms based upon a tree-cotree decomposition, called in this paper spanning tree technique (STT) and generalized spanning tree technique (GSTT), have been shown to be useful in computational ...
