Does anybody know if there is a implementation of the RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) for Linux, and where I could find it? Any
help would be appreciated.I saw something on freshmeat.net a while ago. AFAIK there is nothing in the linux kernel.
Freshmeat doesn't give any results when searching for "rstp", but sf.net has the following project listed:
http://rstplib.sourceforge.net/
=== cut === The Rapid Spanning Tree Library project contains a full implementation of IEEE 802.1w as an library with API. There is two processes, using this library: 'bridge' & 'mngr'. First simulates RSTP bridge behavior, second is dedicated to link/unlink 'bridges' into virtual RSTP domain (VRSTPD). Both 'bridge' & 'mngr' has its own simple CLI like language of commands; these commands allow to manage the VRSTPD. There are tools to trace state machine transitions and get traps about drastic changes.
Purpose: studying, debugging, development.
The library may be used in real bridges/routers while bounding to a real system depending environment. === cut ===
hth.
