- High-Availability Networks with Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
- The spanning tree protocol STP addresses the need for redundancy while providing mechanisms for loop detection and prevention. Because STP is a standards-based solution, it allows interconnection of multiple vendors’ equipment. Further, STP can run at multiple link speeds simultaneously. This paper describes STP and rapid spanning tree protocol RSTP....
