[Bridge] RSTP

Great bridge friends:

I port  linux-4.1.14 to my arm board, and the STP works fine in the loops
of the boards. But I want a faster performance, so I need to use RSTP. I
visit the www.linuxfoundation.org and it said "work is being done to
integrate RSTP support in a future 2.6 release".

so, I want to know if the linux-4.1.14 supports RSTP ? How can I  use it ?
 if not, could you give me some advices to port the RSTP to my board?

Best Wishes

I haven't had time or motivation to update the kernel STP to RSTP.
If you need it I recommend using the MSTP daemon that was done by Cumulus.
