[WISPA] New form of RSTP?
I am starting to think I am going crazy. Actually I have suspected this for a long time now. grin I was sure I saw a recent announcement here from Mikrotik that they have developed a new proprietary form of RSTP (reliable spanning tree protocol) type of layer 2 fail over support and now I cannot find this when I search for it. If anyone else saw this announcement can you please reply with a link to the story about this? I am building a backhaul ring in my network and want layer 2 failover for this backhaul ring. I am considering using Mikrotik. If anyone has similar experience with actual RSTP switching failover in the field and want to share your thoughts on implementation, issues and/or other similar options I would welcome your thoughts.

Re: [WISPA] New form of RSTP?
There is RSTP in current revisions of MT. Is there a reason its not a routed backbone though? Failover etc works so much better. -- * Dennis Burgess, CCNA, A+, Mikrotik Certified Trainer Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik WISP Support Services* 314-735-0270 http://www.linktechs.net http://www.linktechs.net/ */ Link Technologies, Inc is offering LIVE Mikrotik On-Line Training http://www.linktechs.net/onlinetraining.asp/* John Scrivner wrote: I am starting to think I am going crazy.
