Depends on how you build your networks. If you build ring structures, I can see how MST would be useful. We build ring structures but have chosen the EAPS route instead. > I just wish more vendors would see the light and implement rapid-PVSTP. Rapid per VLAN spanning tree has scaling limitations in many environments. Which is why some people go with MST instead.
