Java Applet of The Spanning Tree Protocol for Ethernet Bridges

This Project tries to explain the dynamics of The Spanning tree protocol used in Ethernet LANs and Bridges. The website has been developed as part of the curriculum requirements of the Course-Project for Computer Communications and Networks. Please follow the links for a better understanding......
