[Click] Question about Ethernet Switch Configuration

[Jing Yuan]

Dear Click developers and users

As I am familiarizing myself with Click and using Click worked as Ethernet Switch to implement a protocol like SPT(Spanning Tree Protocol), I have some questions about Click

1 I have designed  a protocol and want to implement it on switch. So should I install Click in some PCs (more than two) and use Click to configure them as switch respectively? 

2 My protocol is similar to STP. So I think maybe I can modify the EtherSpanTree element, but there is no description about this element. Does anybody have some experiences or examples about this element or some instances of Ethernet switch which is configured with elements, such as Supperssor, EtherSwitch and EtherSpanTree. 

I do need some detailed introductions and examples about EtherSpanTree element. Can anybody help me and give me a 
clear explanation on these questions?  Thanks very much!

All the best wishes for you! 
Looking forward to your reply!
