Example of STP calculation
provides an example showing how the STP algorithm works.
Figure 21 The STP algorithm
As shown in
, the priority values of Device A, Device B, and Device C are 0, 1, and 2,
respectively. The path costs of links among the three devices are 5, 10, and 4.

Device state initialization.
In
, each configuration BPDU contains the following fields: root bridge ID, root path cost,
designated bridge ID, and designated port ID.
