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 ...

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 ...

Two algorithms based upon a tree-cotree decomposition, called in this paper spanning tree technique (STT) and generalized spanning tree technique (GSTT), have been shown to be useful in computational ...

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 ...

Today I’ll offer a pretty comprehensive CCNA-level lab that gives us a backdrop to then discuss Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in a 2-switch topology.

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 ...

To prevent issues with loops in the network, the spanning tree algorithm was developed and implemented, forming the foundations of the modern-day Ethernet LANs, as demonstrated by the basic LAN ...
