Hi Murphy,I know this basic spanning tree implementation but this is only 
compatible with NOX version 0.5. 
I am using openflow version 1.0 in openwrt linux which does not support 0.5 
version. So. do u have a spanning tree implementation which is compatible with 
the NOX supporting openflow version 1.0

I have  one doubt that whether routing loops (Routing Module at NOX) can be 
prevented by this implementation. Because routing module  does not flood the 
packets by (OFP_FLOOD) but it transmits the packet to each and every port 
except incoming port explicitly when it does not know the destination.
thanks,Sachin

You might want to take a look at the spanning_tree component:
