Port Fast Forwarding

Port Fast Forwarding permits a port that participates in Spanning Tree to bypass the Listening and Learning states
and enter directly into the Forwarding state. While in the Forwarding state, the port listens to the BPDUs to learn if
there is a loop and, if dictated by normal STG behavior (following priorities, etc.), the port transitions into the
Blocking state.

This feature permits the switch to interoperate well with Fast Path, a NIC Teaming feature.
