Package spb

The XML API OSS interface uses the spb package to configure Shortest Path Bridging (SPB). SPB (IEEE 802.1aq) is the replacement for the older spanning tree protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP). SPB allows all paths to be active with multiple equal cost paths, provides much larger layer 2 topologies, faster convergence times, and improves the use of the mesh topologies through increase bandwidth and redundancy between all devices by allowing traffic to load share across all paths of a mesh network.
