spanning tree algorithm

spanning tree algorithm
   A technique based on the IEEE802.1 standard that finds the most desirable path between segments of a multilooped, bridged network.
   If multiple paths exist in the network, the spanning tree algorithm finds the most efficient path and limits the link between the two networks to this single active path. If this path fails because of a cable failure or other problem, the algorithm reconfigures the network to activate another path, thus keeping the network running.
