Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is an algorithm used by Ethernet bridges or switches to create a logical
topology that connects all network segments, and ensures that only one path exists between any two
stations. In this algorithm, a subset of internetwork links are selected to define a tree structure (loop-less
graph) such that there is only one active path between any two devices. Since this tree spans to all nodes in
the internetwork it is called Spanning Tree.
Figure 5-1
