Abstract
When a device is a primary backbone device, the device adds a backbone device on each branch of a STP tree calculated by the device to a selected group, wherein a distance between the device and the added backbone device is kN hops, where k is an integer and N is a predefined natural number, 3≦N≦6, k=1, 2, . . . . The device enables a rapid flood function, and notifies backbone devices in the selected group of the enabling of the rapid flood function.
