STP cost short mode
STP uses two methods for calculating link costs. Costs conforming to short mode have the following values:
| Data rate | STP cost | 
|---|---|
| 4 Mbps | 250 | 
| 10 Mbps | 100 | 
| 16 Mbps | 62 | 
| 100 Mbps | 19 | 
| 1 Gbps | 4 | 
| 2 Gbps | 3 | 
| 10 Gbps | 2 | 
These values are based on the original IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard.
