As shown in Figure 6-13, STP is deployed on the devices. The devices exchange information
to discover loops on the network and block a port to trim the ring topology into a loop-free tree
topology. The tree topology prevents infinite looping of packets on the network and ensures
packet processing capabilities of the devices.
