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 ...

Perlman, the inventor of spanning tree protocol, was born in Portsmouth, VA, and pursued her collegiate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After completing her Ph.D in computer ...

Equally noteworthy is the development of a two-stage tree-searching algorithm that efficiently constructs three CISTs with controlled diameters in hypercube-variant networks, significantly ...

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 ...

The spanning tree protocol is part of the IEEE 802.1 network management standard. See IEEE 802 and BPDU. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

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 ...

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 ...
