Q: State of Linux RSTP support
Subsystems (2)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
According to Stephen Hemminger's presentation at
http://www.slideshare.net/shemminger/new-bridge (which seems to be the most recent information available on the topic) the in-kernel bridging code only provides STP. RTSP is (should be) provided by a user space daemon, rtspd. However, none of the distributions I routinely use provide that daemon. Sourceforge has a project named rstpd but it seems to be inactive.
A search for RSTP in the current git tree finds
- - in net/bridge/br_netlink.c, a comment:
/* Binary compatibility with old RSTP */
- - in net/bridge/br_private.h, an enum constant for struct net_bridge member stp_enabled:
BR_USER_STP, /* new RSTP in userspace */
but nothing in, say, the Documentation folder.
Any pointers?

There is https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/rstp.git/
but it's 3 years old. Don't know if Stephen has anything newer.
