Fig. 8.16 Convergence of 802.1d Network
This is very an epochal way of preventing a loop. The matter is that communication is
disconnected during two times of BPDU Forward-delay till a port connected to switch D
and SWITCH C is blocked. Then, right after the connection, it is possible to transmit
BPDU although packet cannot be transmitted between switch A and root.
