		<description><![CDATA[STP, RSTP and MSTP are well known solutions for both loop detection and redundancy. Spanning-tree will determine the root switch and from that point it will calculate the link cost to the device. After the determination of the shortest path it will disable the more costly paths.
But this won&#8217;t always result in the best network topology. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=virtualrj.wordpress.com&blog=5919811&post=313&subd=virtualrj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
