    The document discusses the differences between Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). RSTP converges faster than STP by up to 50 seconds, is proactive in blocking ports instead of just forgetting them, and has port states and roles that enhance convergence speed. It works similarly to STP but makes improvements to reduce downtime during topology changes in the network.

    RSTP

     RSTP works much like STP, the main differences are:


     RSTP is proactive and doesn’t just “forget” blocked ports
     RSTP cuts downtime during convergence by up to 50 seconds
     RSTP is... Well.. Rapid...

    Topology change in RSTP

     Detected when state changes from blocking to forwarding.


     TCN BDDU is supported just to make it interoperable with STP.
