• Forward Delay Time – The maximum time (in seconds) the root device
will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding).
This delay is required because every device must receive information
about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition,
each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would
make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might
result.
