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.

Introduction to economics
The word economics comes from the Greek word iokonomia where oikos means house and nomos means managing. Adam Smith defines economics as a science that studies the nature and cause of national wealth. Alfred Marshall defines economics as the study of mankind in the ordinary business of life.
