STP seems to be rarely used, and I'm wondering why. Is it because of its complexity, cost, or maybe there are better alternatives available? I'm curious to understand the reasons behind its limited adoption.

STP operates by blocking redundant interfaces to ensure a loop-free topology.

However, this method is not ideal as it introduces complexity and may not fully optimize network performance.

While this approach prevents loops, it also means that the available bandwidth on these interfaces cannot be utilized.

As a solution, PVST or MST can be implemented, allowing for different root bridges for each VLAN or group of VLANs.
