Spanning Tree-Bridging

Transparent bridges use the spanning tree algorithm to dynamically determine the best source-to- destination path. This algorithm avoids bridge loops (multiple paths linking one segment to another) within a network. The algorithm determines all redundant paths and makes only one of them active. The spanning tree protocol (STP) is part of the IEEE 802.1d standard.
