Restoration in Ethernet has evolved over the years as specified in various standards: first the
classical reconstruction of spanning trees was proposed in 802.1 d; later 802. w specified …

IEEE Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a layer-2 protocol which provides a loop-free
connectivity across various network nodes. It reduces the network topology to a spanning …

We propose a multitree based fast failover scheme for Ethernet networks. In our system, only
few spanning trees are used to carry working traffic in the normal state. As a failure happens …
