Forward Delay - The Forward Delay defines the time that the
bridge spends in the listening and learning states. Its range is
4 - 30 seconds.
Maximum Hop Count - The Maximum Hop Count is a parameter
set in a BPDU packet when it originates. It is decremented by 1
each time it is retransmitted by the next bridge. When the Hop
Count value reaches zero, the bridge drops the BPDU packet. Its
range is 6 - 40 hops.
Transmit Hold Count - The Transmit Hold Count specifies the
maximum number of BPDUs that the bridge can send per second.
Its range is 1 - 10.
