ELRP vs STP

Hi there,

Anyone there with Extreme networks switches and particularly Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol? Can you do a comparison between the proprietary ELRP and STP? Pros and cons, experiences/horror stories?

While STP is far from perfect, slow, inefficient, it's still the standard and is well known and understood protocol. Call me an old fart (cause I am one), but as the saying goes, better the Devil you know.

Is there a way to have an STP domain with an ELRP domain? Even if there is it's probably a really bad idea, better just configure the Extreme Switches with STP.
