Your best bet is to get a copy of "Interconnections" by Radia Perlman.
Radia wrote the Spanning Tree protocol and nobody explains it better.
You can also see my web site at http://www.itprc.com/ and check out the
datalink page for links to Ethernet resources.
And finally, a new version of spanning tree is now emerging. It's IEEE name
is 802.3w and it offers much faster convergence times. You should be able
to find more information about it on the above web site's "physical" page.
There you'll find a link to the IEEE 802.3 standards page.

Subject: spanning-tree
does anyone pls. send me a link to a website that will explain this
concept in more detail. I know what
spanning tree is and all, and i know the functionallity, but i still
don't get on how they designate the ports...like which one becomes the
root bridge and so on...
thank you in advance
Deepak
