2. Introduction Spanning Tree Protocol(STP) A protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. Bridge TRILL A protocol to perform Layer 2 bridging using Intermediate System to Intermediate System(IS-IS) link state routing. Routing Bridge(RBridge) 2

3. STP 3 I think that I shall never see A graph more lovely than a tree. A tree whose crucial property Is loop-free connectivity. A tree which must be sure to span So packets can reach every LAN. First the Root must be selected By ID it is elected. Least cost paths from Root are traced In the tree these paths are placed. A mesh is made by folks like me. Then bridges find a spanning tree.

7. RBridge Compatible with existing bridges and routers Like routers, terminate bridges’ spanning tree Like bridges, glue LANs together a IP subnet Like routers, optimal path, fast convergence Like bridges, plug-and-play Link state protocol among RBridges Like bridges, learn location of end-nodes from receiving data traffic 7

12. Conclusion 12 I hope that we shall one day see A graph more lovely than a tree. A graph to boost efficiency While still configuration-free. A network where RBridges can Route packets to their target LAN. The paths they find, to our elation, Are least cost paths to destination! With packet hop counts we now see, The network need not be loop-free! RBridges work transparently, Without a common spanning tree. Ray Perlner
