Spanning Tree - Poem

laidbackfreak

I came across this today :-

Spanning tree was developed by Dr. Radia Perlman of Sun Microsystems,
Inc., who summedup the idea in a poem titled“Algorhyme”
that’s based on Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees”:

I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree which must be sure to span.
So packets can reach every LAN.
First the Root must be selected
By ID it is elected.
Least cost paths from Root are traced
In the tree these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me
Then bridges find a spanning tree.

Never seen it before but you never it may help some people remember how STP works.
