Hmmm, never understood it that way. I always thought that it was 7 hops from
the root bridge. As ever my reference is my flaky memory, so I'm off to try
and find out why I thought that.

If the root bridge is physically in the centre of the bridged network, the
diameter is actually the radius.
Hmmm - more coffee - it's late.
Hmm, it is late, but I don't think the placement of the root

If max age isn't changed from the default of 20 seconds, it shouldn't be a
problem? The seven hops came from an assumption that each bridge spends a
few seconds taking in and propagating configuration BPDUs, but high-speed
switches don't take that much time. However, they also don't track how
