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 ...

What does spanning tree protocol actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Spanning tree protocol is an essential function of Ethernet networks, and it provides several useful capabilities when used properly. However, STP can cause havoc when a network carrying live video is ...

Our project intends to evaluate and compare the performances of STP and RSTP on Cisco switches supported by OPNET. We were planning to do the comparison of STP with more other types such as Multiple ...

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

Thanks to spanning tree protocol, switched network environments are capable of connecting bridges and switches with multiple paths for data transmission redundancies without those redundancies ...

Guys, Thanks for STP. but one thing pops in my mind how does it stops a network loop in this scenario. A frame (source pc0/1, destination pc2/1) just entered my Switch(SW1) and then router(R1 ...

On the network on which I work, the spanning tree protocol hello time is set to 2 seconds. After doing a few sniff sessions in some of the different vlans, i'm beginning to wonder if this setting ...

You use an algorithm called the spanning tree protocol — just one of the contributions to computer science of a remarkable engineer, Dr. Radia Perlman.
