Proposta de otimização do tráfego da rede da universidade federal de lavras utilizando a técnica de spanning tree protocol

Abstract

With the expansion of the organizations and of their computer networks, their high availability is a key requirement. Even short periods of inactivity of a network can generate productivity losses. Before that, the present work presents a optimization proposal of the Federal University of Lavras network’s traffic, through the implantation of redundancies and the subsequent implementation of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) technique. The tests accomplished at laboratory contributed to evaluate the viability of the use in field of this technology and they showed that the time spent for STP to reestablish the network services is insignificant if compared at the time that usually the Ufla’s Network is unavailable after the occurrence of a flaw.
