Description

Spanning-tree protocol handling in user space helps network administrators manage RSTP and MSTP behavior on Linux bridges. It is useful when loop prevention and bridge topology control are needed outside switch firmware.

Bridge protocol daemons can change network reachability and disrupt traffic if misconfigured. Test on controlled networks before enabling in production.

How to run

mstpd.service
