B.2RSTP (IEEE 802.1D-2004) AND DAISY CHAIN B.2.1 RSTP DESCRIPTION
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RTSP), like STP, was designed to avoid loops in an Ethernet network. Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol (RSTP) (IEEE 802.1w) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (802.1d standard) and provides
for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
