often occur in complicated network systems or systems with
redundant links. Spanning-tree detects and directs data along the
shortest path, maximizing the performance and efficiency of the
network.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
See Spanning Tree Algorithm.
Telnet
Defines a remote communication facility for interfacing to a terminal
device over TCP/IP.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
