Re: [Rstplib-users] Query

[Abhishek M. <abh...@hc...>]

Kindly send me the release rstplib.1.2.beta.05c.tar.gz for RSTP and I
wish to ask whether it's the complete implementation of RSTP??

Kindly guide me on How can I start of with MSTP as I am unable to find
any open source implementation for that, if any patch lies with u ,
kindly send it across with details which may help me out in it's
implementation .

Regards,
Abhishek.

I dare to recommend strongly that version instead, which is
based on "http://sourceforge.net/projects/rstplib/", consider the
release rstplib.1.2.beta.05c.tar.gz
Let me know if you don't have it, I send it you directly.
Regards, Alex
