Hi,
I have two questions:
1. br_designated_port_selection() in br_stp.c:
In this function, the port, which is not DISABLED and
br_should_become_designated_port, then the port is becoming
designated port.
Question: Why the port state(DISABLED) is checking here? According to
standard, there should not be any checking for disabled.
2. br_stp_set_bridge_priority() in br_stp_if.c:
In this function also, the same DISABLED checking is done.
Question: Why the port state(DISABLED) is checking here also for
updating the bridge priority?
Thanks and Regards,
Prasenjit
