Networks that contain two or more bridges use the spanning tree algorithm to prevent loops in the network and to ensure that each frame is only delivered once to each network segment. The algorithm selects a root bridge and then determines the shortest network path from the root bridge to each bridge in the network, avoiding loops. This creates a spanning tree that connects all network segments while avoiding loops, and the bridges use the spanning tree to bridge frames and to set up a system of checks.
