Thanks a lot for the response.
Can you please tell me how far is the original RSTP implementation from 802.1D-2004? The only reason I ask is to understand if the original library can be modified to suit my purposes.
Thanks,
MT

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.
