Abstract
A master node in a network reports a spanning tree to a distributed dictionary. A plurality of nodes comprising a network including the master node access the distributed dictionary to adopt the spanning tree. The spanning tree is adopted in a coordinated manner to avoid potential transient topology loops in the network. In one embodiment, adopting the spanning tree in a coordinated manner involves disabling all links in the node that are to be disabled prior to enabling new links.
