1. A method for communicating via a network, the method comprising:

  • determining, at a first device, a topology map for the network having a plurality of devices including at least one multi-interface device, wherein the topology map includes interface-specific nodes to represent different interfaces of the at least one multi-interface device;

    determining a routing tree for the network based, at least in part, on the topology map, the routing tree having a root node associated with one of the plurality of devices, wherein the routing tree defines routes from the root node to one or more destination nodes;

    determining, for a frame originated from the root node, whether the first device is in a route from the root node to the one or more destination nodes based, at least in part, on the routing tree; and

    forwarding the frame from the first device to the one or more destination nodes in accordance with the routing tree in response to a determination that the first device is in the route.
