Place physical hardware inventories and VPS resource allocations near
the top of each box page, while leaving broader platform details in
their topical sections.

### Switching (RSTP)
## Switching (RSTP)
`stream` is dual-homed to both switches: `lan-jim` (igc) and `lan-dave` (mlx4_en), both MTU 9000,
are enslaved to the `lan` bridge with `STP=true`. [`routing-common/mstpd.nix`](../../../nixos/boxes/home/routing-common/mstpd.nix)
runs a patched `mstpd` and forces RSTP on `lan` once it's routable, so exactly one uplink carries
traffic at a time. (The remaining NICs are renamed `et2`/`et5` and left unconfigured.)
