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 ...

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 ...

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

Spanning tree protocol is an essential function of Ethernet networks, and it provides several useful capabilities when used properly.

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 ...
