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

Some people refer to Sun Labs distinguished engineer Radia Perlman as the Mother of the Internet and the creator of the spanning tree algorithm used by bridges and switches. Others know her as the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Additionally, iterative algorithms have been developed to compute spanning tree totals across various graph families, clarifying how network structure influences properties such as percolation and ...

Layer 2 Spanning Tree Protocol STP, first introduced as a proprietary protocol in 1985 by Digital Equipment Corporation, has a simple requirement: Keep LANs loop free. In the absence of a control ...

Inventor: Radia Perlman Invention: Spanning-tree algorithm — 1983 The story: The spanning-tree algorithm, used by all bridges and switches to route traffic from one point to another, is credited ...

It is shown how a comparison of price levels across a group of countries can be made by chaining bilateral price indexes across a spanning tree. It is argued that we should use the spanning tree whose ...
