- How do I... Speed up the switch port initialization process?
- When connecting a PC to a Cisco switch, it may sometimes take 30 seconds or more before the PC can communicate on the network. But with a few simple steps, you can shave off 30 seconds or more. In this Cisco Routers and Switches article, David Davis tells you how....

- High-Availability Networks with Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
- The spanning tree protocol STP addresses the need for redundancy while providing mechanisms for loop detection and prevention. Because STP is a standards-based solution, it allows interconnection of multiple vendors’ equipment. Further, STP can run at multiple link speeds simultaneously. This paper describes STP and rapid spanning tree protocol RSTP....

- About Tree In Data Structure
- What is a spanning tree?Spanning-Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two stations.Check this link:http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/sw_ntman/cwsimain/cwsi2/cwsiug2/vlan2/stpapp.htmTo my knowledge Spanning Tree was developed by cisco.

- VLAN Load Balancing Between Trunks Using the Spanning-Tree Protocol Port Priority
- This paper provides the theory behind VLAN load balancing between trunks, and also provides configuration examples for switches running CatOS and Integrated IOS. The commands used in this paper are available on the Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6000 families running CatOS and Integreated IOS. The theoretical sections of this paper...

- Verification of RSTP Convergence and Scalability by Measurements and Simulations
- As the Ethernet technology is growing out from the LAN environment, its restoration and scalability properties are getting more attention. Loop protection and restoration for Ethernet is provided by the Spanning Tree Protocols. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol RSTP avoids loops in the network by reducing the logical topology to...

- Evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol
- The Spanning Tree Protocol, that is the basis for the IEEE standard 802.1D was designed to provide "plug-and-play" operation for large Layer 2 networks based on half duplex shared Ethernet, which was the prevalent LAN technology throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. As Ethernet evolved to become a...

- Understanding Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w)
- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP IEEE 802.1w) can be seen as an evolution of the 802.1d standard more than a revolution. In most cases, RSTP performs better than Cisco's proprietary extensions without any additional configuration. 802.1w is also capable of reverting back to 802.1d in order to interoperate with legacy...

- The BEST Challenge for Next-Generation Ethernet Services
- Service providers are starting to offer next-generation E-Line (point-to-point) and E-LAN (multipoint-to-multipoint) Ethernet services over their existing SONET/SDH networks. While Ethernet typically is "Best-effort", these emerging services are expected to be "Carrier-class" with strict bandwidth guarantees. Consequently, spanning tree creation, critical to any Ethernet network is fundamentally changed; each tree...

- Efficient Overlay Multicast for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
- Overlay multicast protocol builds a virtual mesh spanning all member nodes of a multicast group. It employs standard unicast routing and forwarding to fulfill multicast functionality. The advantages of this approach are robustness and low overhead. However, efficiency is an issue since the generated multicast trees are normally not optimized...

- Specification-Based Intrusion Detection System for Carrier Ethernet
- Layered network architectures (OSI, TCP/IP) separate functionality in layers, allowing them to be designed and implemented independently. However, from the security point of view, once a lower layer is compromised, the reliability of the higher layers can be impaired. This paper is about the security of the Data Link Layer,...

- An Adaptive Memoryless Tag Anti-Collision Protocol for RFID Networks
- Tag collision arbitration for passive RFID tags is significant for fast identification. This paper presents an adaptive memoryless tag anti-collision protocol which is an improvement on the query tree protocol. To identify tags efficiently, information about tags is used which the reader already know. The paper evaluates how many collisions...

- On Count-to-Infinity Induced Forwarding Loops in Ethernet Networks
- Ethernet's high performance, low cost and ubiquity have made it the dominant networking technology for many application domains. Unfortunately, its distributed forwarding topology computation protocol - the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol RSTP - can suffer from a classic "Count-to-infinity" problem that may lead to a forwarding loop under certain network...

- Performance Analysis of a Multicast Protocol for Wireless Environments
- This paper presents a performance study, using both analytical modeling and simulation techniques, of a new end-to-end reliable multicast protocol for use in environments with wireless access. The proposed protocol, known as the Reliable Mobile Multicast protocol (RM2), divides a multicast tree into sub-trees where subcasting is applied within these...
