MT, The rstplib/ directory in Stephen's git repo is the RSTPLIB library also available at sourceforge (http://rstplib.sourceforge.net/), but with some small modifications for our purposes. RSTPLIB itself is under LGPL, and if you intend to use it, it may be better to start with the original version from sourceforge. I wrote another RSTP library to replace RSTPLIB and be compliant with 802.1D-2004. I have not hosted that anywhere yet. That library is licensed, together with the rest of my RSTP work, as GPL v >= 2. I will email that to you separately to avoid the attachment on the mailing list.
