Independent spanning trees, often realised as completely independent spanning trees (CISTs), form a foundational concept in network design and routing. They consist of multiple spanning trees ...

Scientists calculate the total number of spanning trees in randomly expanding networks. This method can be applied to modelling scale-free network models, which, as it turns out, are characterized by ...

I am amazed by the number of networks that I encounter that do not have optimal spanning tree configurations. I first read Radia Perlman’s book “Interconnections” back in 1994. I am amazed that 15 ...

Complex networks represent interconnected systems found in fields ranging from sociology to biology and technological infrastructures. A critical aspect of analysing such networks is the study of ...

Jeff Hardee introduced me to the idea of using longer Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) path length values for high-speed links. I thought this was an intriguing idea and so I started to do some informal ...
