• Transparent bridges cannot be used if there are multiple paths to a subnet...loops mean dups!

• Spanning tree bridges can work on mesh nets since they compute the path (using the spanning tree algorithm) by broadcasting messages to one another. Spanning tree disables any bridge which provides a redundant path in an internetwork. These bridges are activated if a path fails.
