STP misunderstanding
Hello, All!
Researching Spanning Tree Protocol raised few questions. What I don't get is the difference between "Root port" and "Designated port" (they seem to be essential), in my opinion thay should be the same, as the meaning is almost same. But according to standard, "Root port" is like an attribute of switch (bridge), while "Designated port" is more likely describes segment (LAN) attribute. On the other hand standard doesn't give distinct defintion of segment. As well I'm not saying about bunch of other confusing terms :-)
So, could you please explain main concept of "Root" and "Designated" ports?
TIA~
