Freshmeat doesn't give any results when searching for "rstp", but sf.net has the following project listed: http://rstplib.sourceforge.net/ === cut === The Rapid Spanning Tree Library project contains a full implementation of IEEE 802.1w as an library with API. There is two processes, using this library: 'bridge' & 'mngr'. First simulates RSTP bridge behavior, second is dedicated to link/unlink 'bridges' into virtual RSTP domain (VRSTPD). Both 'bridge' & 'mngr' has its own simple CLI like language of commands; these commands allow to manage the VRSTPD. There are tools to trace state machine transitions and get traps about drastic changes. Purpose: studying, debugging, development. The library may be used in real bridges/routers while bounding to a real system depending environment. === cut === hth. Bye, Mike
