Region at Once

Without spanning tree, having more than one active path between a pair of nodes causes loops in the network, which can result in duplication of mes- sages, leading to a “broadcast storm” that can bring down the network.

Multiple-Instance spanning tree operation (802.1s) ensures that only one active path exists between any two nodes in a spanning-treeinstance. A spanning-tree instance comprises a unique set of VLANs, and belongs to a specific spanning-treeregion. A region can comprise multiple spanning-tree instances (each with a different set of VLANs), and allows one active path among regions in a network. Applying VLAN tagging to the ports in a multiple-
