similar to: [Bridge] is there RSTP for 2.6 kernel available?

Hi there, I am a student and working on a project where i need to configure RSTP (802.1w) on SUSE 10 kernel 2.6 so that i can able to analyse efficient link fail-over time, i have found STP configuration at ( http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bridge ) but coulnt find partticular RSTP configuration. i would appriciate if you could help me in this regard. cheers, was

Hi, I am working on implementations of RSTP and MSTP. It would be of great help of me if you could provide me with a robust open source implementation of RSTP and MSTP which I can have a look upon and some guidelines on how to implement/configure on Linux. Looking for a positive response soon. Regards, Abhishek. DISCLAIMER:

Hello, I am a student considering participating in Google Summer of Code program. I came across Stephen Hemminger's idea of implementing a RSTP posted on http://developer.osdl.org/dev/soc/ and found it interesting. In attachment there's my proposal, which I just submitted to google. Please share your comments. -- tadeusz andrzej kad?ubowski -------------- next part --------------

Hi, We have a simple bridge setup but the ping (and other network traffic) does not work reliably. After tracing the code, it looks like a software bug. Since bridge software is been running by thousands of people. I guess I am wrong. Anyway, here is the problem. There are 2 boxes and each one has 2 interfaces, 1 ethernet and 1 wifi. STP is enabled for the bridge to avoid the loop. So the box 1

Hi, I'm a student in a trainning period and I have to implement a RSTP in a embedded Linux. I wonder if someone knows if it exists a version of bridge-utils who can made this or if it's possible to modify my actual version (bridge-utils-1.0.6) to do that and how ? Thanks in advance. PS : sorry for my english it's not my natural language ^^.

hi list! i'm trying to find a convenient way to build a redundant filtering bridge under linux i looked at carp project, but carp doesn't support bridge now i thing the most appropriate way is using stp or rstp it seems that 2.6 kernel supports stp but what about rstp? I read some docs about stp, but they are rather outdated (2001 and kernel 2.2) there are several problems indeed: *

I am interested in finding out about the current efforts in adding RSTP (802.1w) support to the current bridging module (more interested in 2.6 tree). I am a developer and can offer my help in either developing the code, porting over work from a 2.4 tree, or in a testing capacity. I would appreciate it if people who are working on this can contact me and let me know the status of the

Bridge locking for /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/stp_enabled was wrong. Another bug in bridge utilities makes it such that this interface, meant it wasn't being used. The locking needs to be removed from set_stp_state(), the lock is already acquired down in br_stp_start()/br_stp_stop.

Here is the proposed revision to the bridge utilities interface to the kernel. The driving force is that the existing interface can't easily be converted to 32/64 bit compat. Right now, the bridge-utils (brctl) tries to handle 32bit command on 64 bit kernel, but the code is limited to sparc and wrong. Here is what I am thinking. get version - not needed? get bridges -

Hello all, I would like to know if it is possible to have 2 bridge instances running - one for the internal network and the other for the external network. What I need to explain is that I need the internal bridge to go though the Linux Kernel and pass its packets to the external network bridge. I am also hopeful that the internal network bridge will not need an IP address as I am hoping to

This patch adds a flag to mdb entries so that we can distinguish permanent entries with temporary ones.

Otherwise 'modprobe -r' on a module having a dependency on bridge will implicitly unload bridge, bringing down all connectivity that was using bridges.

Hi, I'm using linux 2.6.21.5 and our kernel is freeze. The problem is, if I create a Software bridge using $brctl command. and add two interfaces say, eth0.0 and eth0.1 using $brctl addbr br-lan $brctl addif br-lan eth0.0 $brctl addif br-lan eth0.1 and when i send traffic from a host connected to one port to host connected at other end, soon all the memory is dried up and and kernel

Hell everyone, I am wondering if any of you had backported bridge driver to kernel 2.4.x? Thanks! Hai -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/attachments/2005110= 7/b0e0c092/attachment.htm

Hi, Is there any particular reason why the same physical port cannot be added to multiple bridges? Is it because of STP? If I am not using STP - can I change the code to have the same physical port in 2 VLANs? Is that a safe change? Thanks, Abhijit
