生成树协议的国际标准是IEEE802.1d。运行生成树算法的网桥/交换机在规定的间隔 （默认2秒）内通过网桥协议数据单元（BPDU）的组播帧与其他交换机交换配置信息 -Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 protocol that runs on bridges and switches. The specification for STP is IEEE 802.1D. The main purpose of STP is to ensure that you do not create loops when you have redundant paths in your network. Loops are deadly to a network.
