Time to read: 5 minutes The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an enhanced version of the original Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). It is a network protocol that helps prevent network loops by dynamically identifying and disabling redundant paths within a network. The protocol is defined in IEEE 802.1w and provides faster convergence times than STP. RSTP is based on the original STP protocol and maintains backwards compatibility with STP. The protocol uses a similar…

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol: Enhancing Network Efficiency and Resilience 07/04/2023 – Posted in: Network

Time to read: 5 minutes The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an enhanced version of the original Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). RSTP was developed to address some of the limitations of STP, such as slow convergence times and limited scalability. In this blog post, we will explore the basics of RSTP and how it improves network efficiency and resilience. What is Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol? RSTP is an evolution of STP, designed to address…
