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 ...

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

Ethernet devices running the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) have been implemented in networks since the early 1990s. Many organizations take STP for granted and do not configure it per industry best ...

As computer networks get bigger, it becomes increasingly hard to keep track of the flow of data over this network. How do you route data, making sure that the data is spread to all parts of the ...

This paper considers the problem of determining the mean and distribution of the length of a minimal spanning tree (MST) on an undirected graph whose arc lengths are independently distributed random ...

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 ...

We’re using IPTV at our school and have discovered a situation that we don’t understand. The video is delivered over a group of Ethernet switches. When we investigate the individual links, we find ...

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) ...
