Hi.
One of the main differences between STP and RSTP is that RSTP reacts
quickly to link failures by checking the link physical status, without
having to rely on long timeout expirations. So, we need an entry point
from which we can signal the RSTP logic the status of a port (up and
running or down). In particular:
- When a port goes up we have to set the RSTP mac_operational internal flag;
- When a port goes down we have to reset the RSTP mac_operational
internal flag.
After code inspection out best guess is to use the ofport->may-enable
flag after its setting inside inside port_run() function
[ofproto/ofproto-dpif-xlate.c]. Is this ok or you can suggest a better one?
