8-4 Spanning-Tree Protocol

This section examines the Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP). STP is a link management protocol that prevents looping and controls data flow over possible redundant data paths. Looping is bad for Ethernet networks because duplicate packets can be sent over redundant paths. The switches should only send the packets over one path. The Spanning-Tree Protocol is used to ensure only one data path is selected. The Spanning-Tree Protocol also forces one of the redundant data paths into a stand-by mode by placing the path in a blocked state.
