Algorhymes rock!
Please add more specifications like this. Very nice. =) STP was designed to monitor and control the Layer2 Network, it has different variations like RSTP,MSTP and PVST+.
yes for my career prospectus, please add RSTP, MSTP
yet another vote - merge the 3.
Merge
Since all of the articles discuss a form of the STP algorithm, they should be merged under one twiki page.

- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol was merged. We still have a separate Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol article. ~Kvng (talk) 02:15, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
PortFast
There is no mention of Cisco's PortFast STP optimization in this article or elsewhere on Wikipedia. My understanding is that when enabled, PortFast puts a port into forwarding mode immediately after link is established. This gives end stations immediate connectivity at the expense of the possibility of a brief storm if the connection results in a loop. I believe the PortFast option was incorporated into the RSTP enhancement but I need someone to verify this before editing the article. Meanwhile, I've removed recent edit claiming that Blocking is the initial state for STP. While the statement is true for the original 802.1D, it needs some qualification given the above. --Kvng (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Spanning Tree Protocol § Bridge protocol data units already appears to be more comprehensive than Bridge protocol data unit so the latter is likely not necessary. Anything not already covered here can be merged and Bridge protocol data unit turned into a redirect. ~Kvng (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
