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.
