What is the IEEE specification for Spanning Tree Protocol
Ans) IEEE 8021.d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was developed to stop routing loops in a network. If a router, switch, or hub has more than one path to the similar destination, a routing problem could occur. To stop this, the Spanning Tree Protocol is executed among the devices to detect and logically block redundant paths from the network. The main function of the Spanning Tree Protocol is to permit redundant network paths without suffering the effects of loops in the network.
