The '''Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol''' ('''MSTP''') and [[algorithm]], provides both simple and full connectivity assigned to any given [[Virtual LAN]] (VLAN) throughout a Bridged Local Area Network. MSTP uses [[Bridge Protocol Data Unit|BPDUs]] to exchange information between spanning-tree compatible devices, to prevent loops in each [[Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol#Multiple Spanning Tree Instances (MSTI)|MSTI]] (Multiple Spanning Tree Instances) and in the [[Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol#Common and Internal Spanning Tree(CST/CIST)|CIST]] (Common and Internal Spanning Tree), by selecting active and blocked paths. This is done as well as in [[Spanning Tree Protocol|STP]] without the need of manually enabling backup links and getting rid of [[Bridging (networking)|bridge]] [[Switching loop|loops]] danger.
