3. Expected
To have a network without broadcast storms / loops so it becomes stable.
4. What happened.
The network crashed, probably the TP-Link switch which could not
understand a buggy RSTP implementation.
5. Detailed description.
In version 2.5.2 when enabling rstp then it crashes the network when
connected to rstp port in a TP-Link SG3424 switch. The port in TP-Link
gets status error.
Upgraded ovs to 2.8.0 by compiling myself and it started to work as
expected.
6. Suggestions.
So perhaps dont allow rstp in 2.5.x or upgrade the package?
