With the advancement in the technology in the present world, the limitations of the Spanning Tree Protocol in networking are creating increasing problems in Network Virtualization. The demand for smooth networking in big mess topology, its scalability and reliability are not met by the Spanning Tree Protocols (STPs). Transparent Interconnections of Lots of Links (TRILL) and Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) nowadays are becoming reliable and practical protocols in solving this problem in the networking industry.
To deploy either TRILL or SPB has been emerging as a challenging and hot debate for many large vendors such as Arista, Avaya, Brocade, Cisco, Extreme, and HP. This thesis explains the limitations on STPs regarding Virtualized Data Centers and Cloud Computing, and elaborates on the use, operation, and the differences of both TRILL or SPB.
