After my<a href="https://network-janitor.net/2012/12/mentoring-your-way-to-better-career-happiness/"> last post</a> full of love and bromance, this one is full of hate and vitriol - and I don&rsquo;t apologise! We have all seen many presentations on each vendors latest and greatest &ldquo;fabric&rdquo; technologies over the past 18 months. It doesn&rsquo;t matter which vendor, whether the presenter is sales or tech, or even enterprise or service provider focused - at some point almost every one declares that their solution is &ldquo;the end of spanning tree&rdquo;. It gets worse when they actively advise that you do not run spanning tree in your environment.</p>
