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 ...

Thanks to spanning tree protocol, switched network environments are capable of connecting bridges and switches with multiple paths for data transmission.

Independent spanning trees, often realised as completely independent spanning trees (CISTs), form a foundational concept in network design and routing.

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 ...

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 ...

After making serval cases of a set, a minimum spanning tree analysis was performed for a specific set of cities to find a cost-minimized network. Then, through a visual heuristic approach, several ...
