    I see that Stephen has already pointed you to mstpd in a sibling
    message.

    It is important to note though, that AFAIK mstpd does not actually
    support MSTP on a vanilla Linux system. The protocol implementation is
    in place, and they have a plugin architecture that makes it easy for people
    to hook it up to various userspace SDKs and whatnot, but you can't use
    it with a regular bridge.

    A colleague of mine has been successfully running a modified version of
    mstpd which was tailored for v1 of this series (RFC). But I do not
    believe he has had the time to rework it for v2. That should mostly be a
    matter of removing code though, as v2 allows you to manage the MSTIs
    directly, rather than having to translate it to an associated VLAN.
