It is annoying if you don't expect it.
Hi, I'm using linux 2.4.20 here and noticed that even when STP is disabled for a bridge, the forwarding delay still takes affect. Is this correct? I.E. Does the bridge need to spend time in the "listening" and "learning" states when STP isn't used? It's an easy work around to set the delay to 0, I'm just wondering whether it's a buglet or by design. thanks, P?draig.
