However, TRE can only use shortcuts that arrive directly at bridges located in the branch of the destination. TRE+ extends the topology knowledge of a bridge to 2 hops away, thus unveiling new shortcuts to the destination branch. Simulations show a major performance improvement of TRE+ compared to TRE, with results close to shortest paths in some topologies.application/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaRouting bridgesEthernetspanning treehierarchical addressesresearch articleTelecomunicacioneshttps://www.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.10.0209.0388open access
