3. Different between RSTP , STP , and MSTP .

Question

Accepted Answer

RSTP, STP, and MSTP are all protocols used for preventing network loops, but they differ in their speed and complexity.

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is the original protocol used for preventing network loops.
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is an updated version of STP that is faster and more efficient.
MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) is a more complex protocol that allows for multiple VLANs to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance.
RSTP is faster than STP because it has faster convergence times and fewer states.
MSTP is more complex than both STP and RSTP because it allows for multiple VLANs to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance.
All three protocols work by electing a root bridge and then blocking redundant paths to prevent network loops.
