There are problems with STP and its message age calculation even after commit: bridge: send proper message_age in config BPDU Using HZ=1000 one can see that received msg and transmitted msg age are 0 going back to HZ=100 it gets better, but still looks strange. Using HW switches(RSTP) and linux bridge in series: HW Switch(A, master) - HW Switch(B) - Linux BR(C) - Linux BR(D) - Linux BR(E) In C we can with tcpdump see that incoming msg age is 1, but in D we see incoming msg age 0, should be > 1 (or so I think) Then in E we see incoming msg age 2. Should not msg age increase with at least 1 for every hop?
