Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The Dell Networking operating software implementation of rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) is based on the IEEE 802.1w
standard spanning-tree protocol. The RSTP algorithm configures connectivity throughout a bridged local area network (LAN)
that is comprised of LANs interconnected by bridges.
