Line 5: Moreover, MSTP allows frames/packets assigned to different VLANs to follow separate paths, each based on an independent MSTI, within MST Regions composed of [[Local area network\| LANs]] and or MST Bridges.

It has some similarities with [[Cisco Systems]]' Multiple Instances Spanning Tree Protocol (MISTP), but there are some differences.
