Message-Id: <1378960667-5092-1-git-send-email-cphealy@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 21:37:47 -0700 From: Chris Healy <cphealy@...il.com> To: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, buytenh@...tstofly.org, Chris Healy <cphealy@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] resubmit bridge: fix message_age_timer calculation This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as opposed to the local bridge's max age. This is in accordance with section 8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification. With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is configured to have a longer max age. Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200.
