We've ran MST as long

Yeah. We see to it that our L2 STP domains are very small (if we can
avoid it, no more than 4-6 devices each), and we need to go

Hi,
We use MSTP with VTPv3. It's quite good if your topology is simple but you
have a lot of VLANs. Before we used a lot of STP instances, now we use two
of them:)
Also on the Cisco 2960 series platform you

the original question was about R-PVST so no, FTOS doesn't do
that as far as I know.

Normally I'm not a big fan of proprietary protocols, but MST is so

Juniper does, both on MX not-so-switches and on EX.

Hello,
MST is a really good ***not*** proprietary protocol.. You just need to
understand how it works and how you can interconnect your regions all
together (not very straightforward I agree)
If you just have independent Layer 2 area's, you can create something like
that (on all your layer 2

As Gert says - I understand mst just fine, thanks. It's just completely
unsuitable for our needs, and by the sound of it, others too.
It's also a solution looking for a problem. Even puny 600mhz cpu in sup720 can
handle vast numbers of vports with no appreciable load, afaict.
I'm sure there
