BPDUs - Switches send messages called Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) to allow the formation of a loop free logical topology.
Three types of BPDUs:
1. Configuration BPDU, used for Spanning Tree computation 2. Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDU, used to announce changes in the network topology 3. Topology Change Notification Acknowledgment (TCA)
