What potential problem does STP address?

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) addresses the issue of network loops in Ethernet networks. Without STP, network loops can cause broadcast storms and packet collisions, leading to network congestion and performance degradation. STP helps prevent loops by identifying and blocking redundant paths in the network.
