    To eliminate the possibility of a broadcast storm, switches and bridges implement the ____.

    • RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

    • STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)

    • BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

    • OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol

    Correct Answer
    A. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
    Explanation
    Switches and bridges implement the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to eliminate the possibility of a broadcast storm. A broadcast storm occurs when broadcast packets are continuously forwarded and flooded throughout a network, causing network congestion and performance issues. STP prevents this by creating a loop-free topology and blocking redundant paths, ensuring that there is only one active path between any two network devices. This helps to maintain network stability and prevent the excessive propagation of broadcast packets.
