CONTRIBUTE

INFLUENCE

Perlman made a essential contribution to computer progress, without which today we would not have the internet as we know it. Among his numerous contributions, he is famous for having conceived the algorithm underlying the spanning tree protocol, essential in networking.

Perlman invented the spanning tree algorithm and protocol that enabled network bridges to locate loops in a local area network (LAN).

The purpose of the STP protocol is to "virtually" eliminate all paths that are considered "non-primary". If there were no STP protocol, there would be many redundant cables that would be considered primary and would create an infinite loop.

Algorhyme I think that I shall never see A graph more lovely than a tree. A tree whose crucial property Is loop-free connectivity. A tree which must be sure to span So packets can reach every LAN. First the root must be selected. By ID it is elected. Least cost paths from root are traced. In the tree these paths are placed. A mesh is made by folks like me Then bridges find a spanning tree.
