Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP also
provides a single path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. Loops occur when
alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an extended network can cause bridges to forward
traffic indefinitely, resulting in increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.
