Hi Stephen,
I have been studying the bridge source & analyzing its flow by putting printks
at various places. I am using kernel 2.6.6. I found something really strange
happening..
I have setup a bridge with two ports. I havent enabled stp on the bridge. Which
I have confirmed by doing a "brctl show" also. However from the printks I find
that BPDUs are getting generated & sent on the ports. Isnt this not supposed to
happen?
Regards,
Kishore

Probably just a stupid bug.

Hi Stephan,
But is it not a serious bug cause it is going to the affect the topology of the
entire network on to which the bridge is connected..
Regards,
Kishore

Well if the network has other bridges, then you really need to run STP anyway.
Otherwise, the bridges won't know about each other at all and the potential exists
for all sorts of nasty things like loops and dead connections.
