I am amazed by the number of networks that I encounter that do not have optimal spanning tree configurations. I first read Radia Perlman’s book “Interconnections” back in 1994. I am amazed that 15 ...

The next breakthrough in computing that will make our computer networks more reliable, faster and more secure against cyber attacks is being developed at Rochester Institute of Technology. A team of ...

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 ...

Computing researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have developed a new loop-avoidance protocol that solves a key challenge faced in switched networks, including many of the data center ...

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 ...

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 ...
