   Although the learning state is also used in RSTP but it only takes place for a short time as compared to STP. RSTP converges with all ports either in forwarding state or discarding state.

   * RSTP provides faster convergence than 802.1D STP when topology changes occur.
   * RSTP defines three port states: discarding, learning, and forwarding.
   * RSTP defines five port roles: root, designated, alternate, backup, and disabled.

   STP convergence (Layer 2 convergence) happens when bridges and switches have transitioned to either the forwarding or blocking state.

   When layer 2 is converged, root bridge is elected and all port roles (Root, Designated and Non-Designated) in all switches are selected.
