As the note (near the title says) this is not the original repo of mstpd.
It's a "fork" from SourceForge and the origin link is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mstpd/
And the original author is: Vitalii Demianets vitas@nppfactor.kiev.ua
msptd implements the IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol.
It was original started by Vitalii Demianets.
The work seems to be based on rstpd.
This repo tries to converge the original works of rstpd/mstpd and the works of others (e.g. Cumulus Linux).
There are 2 main branches:
- upstream - which is a git-svn clone from SourceForge
- master - generic updates (on top of uptream)
