From 467aea0ddfd1f0f1158c57cbef0e8941dd63374c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:42:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: don't route packets while learning While in the STP learning state, don't route packets; wait until forwarding delay has expired. The purpose of the forwarding delay is to detect loops in the network, and if a brouter started up and started forwarding, it could cause a flood.
