RAPID SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL

RSTP is a standard used to quickly reconnect a network fault by finding an alternative path. It stops network loops
whilst enabling redundancy. It can be used in star or ring connections as shown in the following figure.

The RSTP implementation in this product is compatible with any devices that use RSTP.
RSTP can recover network faults quickly, but the fault recovery time depends on the number of devices on the
network and the network topology. A typical figure for the fault recovery time is 300ms. Therefore, RSTP cannot
achieve the "bumpless" redundancy that some other protocols can.
Refer to IEEE 802.1D 2004 standard for detailed information about the opration of the protocol.
