active handshaking between adjacent RSTP devices to re-negotiate the network
topology. This process takes one to two seconds.
Each RLX2 Radio contains a switch table, which tells it how to forward Ethernet packets
to get them to their proper destination. When the network topology changes, the RLX2
Radio the Ethernet switch table is flushed immediately. This allows it to pass traffic
immediately over the new network topology and learn the configuration in the process.
Until the learning is complete, the packets are broadcast to their destination. As each
packet is seen and the switch table rebuilds, the radios return to directing packets to
their destinations.
