<confession> Let me say that my confusion/mistake was introduced by the fact that I was running my experimental mesh with more than half a dozen mpps and maps that are configured with (soft) bridges, without any problem (which is obvious if stations behind the bridge are edges.) This somehow created a sort of mis-conception in my mind that meshes are bridge-safe. </confession>

Is there any known reason why STP is default off for bridges created with brctl such as performance reasons??? --- shinoda On 2012/09/08, at 22:56, Yeoh Chun-Yeow wrote: > Hi, Shinoda > >> And I started to wonder why brctl creates bridges with STP >> default off… > > Yes, by default, STP is turned off.
