transition states disabled, blocking and listening used in 802.1d and creates a single state Discarding. In either case, ports
do not forward packets. In the STP port transition states disabled, blocking or listening or in the RSTP/MSTP port state
discarding, there is no functional difference, the port is not active in the network topology. Table 6-1 below compares how
the three protocols differ regarding the port state transition.
All three protocols calculate a stable topology in the same way. Every segment will have a single path to the root bridge.
All bridges listen for BPDU packets. However, BPDU packets are sent more frequently - with every Hello packet. BPDU
packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not received. Therefore, each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of
the link. Ultimately this difference results in faster detection of failed links, and thus faster topology adjustment. A draw-
back of 802.1d is this absence of immediate feedback from adjacent bridges.
