Jeff Hardee introduced me to the idea of using longer Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) path length values for high-speed links. I thought this was an intriguing idea and so I started to do some informal ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper deals with the size of the spanning tree of p randomly chosen nodes in a binary search tree. It is shown via generating functions ...

Ok, so my first question is would an issue with spanning tree affect the response time with a ping? I have a switch that is doing some weird stuff and my employees keep complaining about slowness with ...

In a real LAN topology, bridges operate in the data link layer of the OSI Reference model [Tanenbaum 1996]; therefore, they ignore any network layer information in the data packets. A bridge buffers ...
