STP Spanning Tree Protocol
STP is a technique based on an IEEE 802.1d standard that detects and
eliminates forwarding loops in a bridged network. When multiple paths
exist, STP selects the most efficient path for the bridge to use. If that path
fails, STP automatically reconfigures the network to activate another path.
This protocol is used mostly by local bridges.
