RSTP enhancements
RSTP uses the same process that STP uses to elect a root bridge and identify the root
path. However, RSTP enables faster convergence after a topology change. With
RSTP, convergence can occur in 1 second or less, but will typically occur within 6
seconds.
With STP, on the other hand, convergence can take up to 50 seconds. RSTP also
allows faster transition of ports to a forwarding state.
