IEEE 802.1D STP is the original standard and it is run as a distributed algorithm by every bridge. In this paper we propose a formal specification of that STP by using a Process Algebra named Algebra of Communicating Processes (ACP), following a manual approach. Furthermore, STP protocol verification has been performed, both in a formal and in an informal way.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.23.2.18005">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.23.2.18005</a></p> ER -
