Switching is less processing intensive and has lower latency because it can move packets,frames,or cells from buffer to buffer with simpler destination of source and desitination of the traffice. Network Diameter for spanning-tree is less than or equal to 7 switches. Default Spanning-tree Timers Max_Age Timer 20sec Forwarding Delay Timer 15sec From Blocking to Forwarding 50sec
