RSTP Definition: RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is a network protocol that ensures loop-free topologies in Ethernet networks by quickly transitioning ports to forwarding state upon link failure detection.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is a network protocol used to prevent loops in Ethernet networks by dynamically calculating the shortest path tree. It improves the convergence time compared to the original Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) by reducing the time it takes for switches to transition ports to the forwarding state when network changes occur. RSTP achieves this by introducing new port states and changing the way information is propagated through the network.
