-Frame Loop Prevention Mechanism. Achieved by blocking all but one ROOT port to a ROOT switch. Redundant links are then blocked to create a loop-free environment.
+Frame Loop Prevention Mechanism. Achieved by blocking all but one **''ROOT''** port to a **''ROOT''** switch. Redundant links are then blocked to create a loop-free environment.
 =====CONCEPT=====
-  * It does this with Each Switch broadcasting a BPDU, made up of that SW's Priority + MAC. Default Priority is 32768. The SW with the lowest BPDU (superior) is elected the ROOT BRIDGE.
+  * It does this with Each Switch broadcasting a **''HELLO BPDU''**, made up of that SW's **''Priority + MAC''**. Default Priority is 32768. The SW with the **''lowest BPDU''** (superior) is elected the ROOT BRIDGE.
-  * Each SW will then determine a ROOT PORT, one per SW. A DESIGNATED port is then elected on each segment. There can only be one DESIGNATED port per SEGMENT/LINK.
+  * Each SW will then determine a **''ROOT PORT''**, one per SW. A **''DESIGNATED''** port is then elected on each segment.
-  * Any port that is not DESIGNATED or a ROOT port, is then set to a BLOCKING state.
+  * There can only be **one DESIGNATED port per SEGMENT/LINK. **
+  * Any port that is **not** **''DESIGNATED''** or a **''ROOT''** port, is then set to a **''BLOCKING''** state.
+Note that once a ROOT Bridge is elected, all other bridges will only forward HELLO BPDU's **originating** from the **''ROOT BRIDGE''**. The Root cost is incremented as the **''HELLO BPDU''** is **received (COST=$COST+$PORT_COST)**. The Root Cost starts off @ 0 from the **''ROOT''**. Each subsequent Bridge tacks on it's **COST TO THE ROOT BRIDGE** as it is **received**.
