The current laboratorial lecture taught how to deploy at the SDN control layer, a dynamic Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) solution with proactive flow rules, which are automatically updated after any topology change. This lecture aims to deliver relevant knowledge in the next aspects: i) understand how Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is implemented in SDN; ii) recall how proactive flow rule installation is made using OpenFlow 1.3; iii) use NetworkX for graph-based STP implementation; iv) build a resilient and efficient solution despite topology changes.
