Issues 1-3 (of 16) #1 which version of ethernet is baseline? STP, RSTP, VLAN, provider bridges, wireless, shortest path bridging, etc. (terminology issue) #2 apply to current vs. larger scales? Proposed starting point: 1000 end-hosts in a single bridged LAN of 100 bridges 100.000 end-hosts inside 1000 VLANs served by 10.000 bridges #3 IF size is an issue... what limits the size? STP/RSTP or broadcast traffic, or both? |
