Hi there! I am not sure in linux reg the issue, but according to my understandings RSTP protocol helps packets to move forward i mean receive/transmit in L2 switch. Beyond this I may not elaborate! and since u r trying own packets under SUT, How could u able to manage, is it an kind of simulation/ Regards, Kiran.

Hi , I am in need of a Packet generator(for a linux machine) which allows me to edit the packet received & pump the same to the network. Just like 'Iris' in Windows. If you have any idea about this type of packet generator. please let me know as soon as possible Madhavi
