Description

On an Ethernet switching network, redundant links are used to implement link backup and enhance network reliability. However, the use of redundant links may produce loops, leading to broadcast storms and an unstable MAC address table. As a result, communication on the network may deteriorate or even be interrupted. To prevent loops, IEEE introduced the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Devices running STP exchange STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) to discover loops on the network and block appropriate ports. This enables a ring topology to be trimmed into a loop-free tree topology, preventing infinite looping of packets and ensuring packet processing capabilities of devices. IEEE introduced the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) to improve the network convergence speed.

BASIC COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE
The first computing machine was known as ABACUS which was used in ancient China and Japan thousands of years before Christ for simple and small volumes arithmetics. John Napier invented Logarithms which was an aid to calculations, he also published log tables in 1614 and later in 1620s it was used by William Oughtred to develop the slide rule.
