IEEE 802. 1aq ( Shortest Path Bridging SPB ) allows all paths to be active with multiple equal cost paths, provides much larger layer 2 topologies ( up to 16 million compared to the 4096 VLANs limit ), faster convergence times, and improves the use of the mesh topologies through increase bandwidth and redundancy between all devices by allowing traffic to load share across all paths of a mesh network.

:: Note: In networks that are based upon the partially connected mesh topology, the data that is transmitted between nodes in the network takes many shortest paths between nodes using a technology like Shortest Path Bridging, except in the case of a failure or break in one of the links, in which case the network uses the remaining alternative paths to the destination.

The newest standard Shortest path bridging ( IEEE 802. 1aq ) is the next logical progression and incorporates all the older Spanning Tree Protocols ( IEEE 802. 1D STP, IEEE 802. 1w RSTP, IEEE 802. 1s MSTP ) that blocked traffic on all but one alternative path.

A unique problem is: " Construct a game with black b-pawn checkmating on move four " ( from Shortest construction tasks map in External links section ; the unique solution is 1. d4 c6 2. Kd2 Qa5 + 3. Kd3 Qa3 + 4. Kc4 b5 #).

Also on September 19, 2009, " The Shortest Straw " made its way back into the set lists during its World Magnetic Tour after a 12 year absence at the Montreal Bell Center, not being played live since February 9, 1997.

Link-state routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First ( OSPF ) and IS-IS elect a designated router on every link to perform flooding of topology information.

While starting up, CUWiN relies on Dijkstra's Open Shortest Path First ( OSPF ), though they are in the process of implementing a much more amenable routing protocol named Hazy-Sighted Link State ( HSLS ), and then, later, implementing a modification to it named Adaptive Hazy-Sighted Link State ( A-HSLS ).

* Shortest day: 45 min ( 11: 42 a. m. to 12: 27 p. m. on November 24 )

* Shortest night: 26 min ( 11: 43 p. m. on May 19 to 12: 09 a. m. on May 20 )

Dijkstra's algorithm is used in SPF, Shortest Path First, which is used in the routing protocols OSPF and IS-IS.

In 2007, the video for the Napalm Death song " You Suffer " set a new " Shortest Music Video " record: 1. 3 seconds.

MPLS Traffic Engineering relies upon the use of TE extensions to Open Shortest Path First ( OSPF ) or Intermediate System To Intermediate System ( IS-IS ) and RSVP.

Besides GMPLS, the main competitors to MPLS are Shortest Path Bridging ( SPB ), Provider Backbone Bridges ( PBB ), and MPLS-TP.

The worst case for this problem is simply that all of the unreliable edges fail and the problem reduces to the usual Shortest Path Problem.

An example would be the joining of a number of large OSPF ( Open Shortest Path First ) networks where OSPF by itself would not scale to size.

Open Shortest Path First ( OSPF ) is an adaptive routing protocol for Internet Protocol ( IP ) networks.

For routing multicast IP traffic, OSPF supports the Multicast Open Shortest Path First protocol ( MOSPF ) as defined in RFC 1584.

* In optics, Hero formulated the Principle of the Shortest Path of Light: If a ray of light propagates from point A to point B within the same medium, the path-length followed is the shortest possible.

Other annual events in town include the Valley of Vapors Festival, free Hot Springs Jazz Festival in September, the free Hot Springs Blues Festival in September, the downtown Bathtub Races in the spring, the Big Barbecue Cook off in Spring and Fall, the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade every March 17, and the outdoor skating rink November through January.

Aptos is also home to the annual Fourth of July " World's Shortest Parade ," so called because the parade route is about. 6 miles long.

** Shortest proof games: the solver is given a position and must construct a game, starting from the normal game array, which ends in that position.

He leered at the stranger as the distance between them closed.

We assume for this illustration that the size of the land plots is so great that the distance between dwellings is greater than the voice can carry and that most of the communication is between nearest neighbors only, as shown in Figure 2.

Awkwardly and laboriously, in stiff, unemotional phrases, the soldiers continue to bridge the distance between themselves and those they love ; ;

But the farmers outsmarted Washington by shortening the distance between the rows and pouring on the fertilizer.

The extent of such interference -- which may be so slight as to be undetectable at any point where either of the stations renders a usable signal, or may be so great as to virtually destroy the service areas of both stations -- depends on many factors, among the principal ones being the distance between the stations, their respective radiated power, and, of particular significance here, the time of day.

The size of the press is usually expressed in terms of chuck capacity ( the maximum diameter tool shank it will hold ) or distance between the spindle center and the column.

Improvement can be measured by the lessening distance between toes and head.

Stopping the cars at a fork in the road, he got out, paced off a certain distance to a spot between two shrub-covered sand hills, and indicated a location.

In this respect it would seem that the greater the social distance between the Brandywine population and the white and Negro populations within the same general locality, the greater the possibility for higher morale and solidarity within the Brandywine population.

At this moment, Loveless and Means arrived, crashing through the undergrowth with their horses, and distracted her, and she ran off a short distance and jumped into a crevice between two rocks.

The distance between where she stood and where Dave waited at the outside door was a hundred miles.

The secretary's greatest achievement is perhaps the rekindling of NATO realization that East-West friction, wherever it take place around the globe, is in essence the general conflict between two entirely different societies, and must be treated as such without regard to geographical distance or lack of apparent connection.

These were positioned to maximize the Hamming distance between their bit patterns.

This is because the distance between the Earth and the Sun is not fixed ( it varies between AU and AU ) and, when the Earth is closer to the Sun ( perihelion ), the Sun's gravitational field is stronger and the Earth is moving faster along its orbital path.

However, the book On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon, which has long been ascribed to Aristarchus, says that he calculated the distance to the sun to be between 18 and 20 times the distance to the Moon, whereas the true ratio is about 389. 174.

Depending on the distance Van Helden assumes Aristarchus used for the distance to the Moon, his calculated distance to the Sun would fall between 380 and 1, 520 Earth radii.

Hannibal encamped within striking distance of the Romans with the Trebia River between them, and placed a strong force of cavalry and infantry in concealment, near the battle zone.
