Spanning Tree Protocol Example #168

Open blegat opened 9 years ago

blegat commented 9 years ago

In the example of the "Spanning Tree Protocol" It says "Thus port 2 becomes a Blocked port in Switch4" Doesn't it rather become the root port ? The algorithm is described to do the following: "the switch chooses the best priority vector from its table. The port over which this best root priority vector was learned (..). becomes the Root port of the switch".
