摘要: A method and apparatus that provide for a Layer 2 path determination are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, 3 between source device destination is first determined in order to identify contiguous pairs devices. subpath then each pair devices based on VLAN spanning tree information associated with pair. The concatenation subpaths all path.
