The concept is not yet completly clear to me.
there is a url http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/47...ml#xtocid208564
There he explains the concept.
BUt there is some ambiguity here.
when switch b and c broadcast then they both should find the node b which is on the segment.when they find it they should stop broadcasting.Wy is it not so?

The switches only learn where Node A exists when Node A sends a frame.

In this scenario, Node A never sends a frame.

STP is needed here to remove the loop.
