the disadvantage os stp that it is time consuming.
d. A broadcast storm
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
It is only used at Layer 2. It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
STP stand for Spaning Tree Protocol. It's used to avoid the L2 loop in the network. many factor are belong to STP. such as Root Switch, BPDU, Root Port, Forward port, blocking port.
No of spanning trees in a complete graph Kn is given by n^(n-2) so for 5 labelled vertices no of spanning trees 125
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is still referred to as STP. However, there are newer variations of STP such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
STP has two common meanings in networking:1. Shielded twisted pair, a type of cable.2. Spanning-tree protocol, a system used to permit redundant links in switches, while avoiding switching loops.STP has two common meanings in networking:1. Shielded twisted pair, a type of cable.2.

Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
A spanning tree protocol, or STP, is characteristic to a LAN. It provides a loop-free topology for networks within the system.
bridging loop means layer 2 loop. which is due to redundant paths in the layer 2 network . It is avoided by implementing the STP (spanning tree protocol) .

Spanning tree protocol
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) does not set up trunk links, it is used to remove logical (Layer 2: Data Link) loops in a network in case there is layer 1 (Physical) redundancy
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) packet is a message sent by network switches to exchange information and participate in the process of creating a loop-free topology within a network. These packets help switches to determine the best paths to ensure there are no loops in the network infrastructure, preventing broadcast storms and ensuring efficient data transmission.
In order to prevent broadcast storms and other side effects of looping, Digital Equipment Corporation created the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
