In RSTP and MSTP, two types of messages are used for rapid state transition on designated ports:
z
Proposal: sent by designated ports to request rapid transition
z
Agreement: used to acknowledge rapid transition requests
Both RSTP and MSTP bridges can perform rapid transition on a designated port only when the port
receives an agreement packet from the downstream bridge. The differences between RSTP and MSTP
bridges are:
z
For MSTP, the downstream bridge’s root port sends an agreement packet only after it receives an
agreement packet from the upstream bridge.
z
For RSTP, the down stream bridge sends an agreement packet regardless of whether an
agreement packet from the upstream bridge is received.
