90 is a designated switch in a bridged network that serves as a reference point
100      in the network. The Bridge ID is used to compare the priorities of

131      Blocking state to prevent network loops.
133 STP ensures network convergence by calculating the shortest path and disabling
134 redundant links. When network topology changes occur (e.g., a link failure),
135 STP recalculates the network topology to restore connectivity while avoiding loops.

165 is restricted to the initial network namespace.
176 A LAN (Local Area Network) is a network that covers a small geographic area,
181 A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical segmentation of a physical
182 network into multiple isolated broadcast domains. VLANs are used to divide
188 networks. It allows network administrators to create logical VLANs on a
189 physical network and tag Ethernet frames with VLAN information, which is
