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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Scientists calculate the total number of spanning trees in randomly expanding networks. This method can be applied to modelling scale-free network models, which, as it turns out, are characterized by ...
