Scenario #1 – (No STP)
With no STP, all clients (Notebook#1, #2, #3, #4) can access one
another, resulting in low data security. Due to the redundant paths,
broadcast packets will be duplicated and forwarded endlessly,
resulting in a broadcast storm.
Scenario #2 – (With STP)
With STP, extra redundant network paths between access points will be
disabled, hence preventing multiple active network paths in between
any 2 access points. If one of the access points is down, the STP
algorithm will reactivate one of the redundant paths so that the
network connection will not be lost. All wireless users will be able to
communicate with each other if they are associated to the access
points that are in the same zone.
