[rbridge] PS issue #7

I'm coming up with a big "huh?" on this one...

#7 differentiate between host reattachment effects
   and bridge reattachment effects; the latter impact the STP more

Host attachment doesn't impact STP at all, does it? I thought that was the 
whole point of aging filtering table entries (since STP doesn't actually 
know that my laptop has moved, so bridges that were properly filtering my 
packets out until I moved are continuing to filter them out after I moved, 
and I'm waiting for bridges to either learn where I am now from packets that 
I'm now transmitting or forget where I used to be (if I'm not transmitting 
any traffic).

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this...

Thanks,

Spencer
