Definitions for "Spanning Tree Protocol"
A bridge-based system for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP works by allowing you to implement parallel paths for network traffic, and ensure that redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational and enabled if the main paths fail.

Prevents loops in network traffic. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. SSH Secure Shell. Logs into a remote computer via a network, executes commands, and to transfers files from one computer to another.
