Hi ,
Linux doesn't support multiple namspaces while using STP in bridges . What is the actual reason behind supporting only root namespaces for STP support and dropping the BPDU packets for other namespaces. Will there be any issue if I patch the kernel to enable multiple namespace support?
Please hepl me out.

Thanks,
Vinod.

Thanks,
Vinod.

I don't think anybody ever made STP namespace aware.
