Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) and Topology Change Notifications (TCNs) are crucial elements in the operation and management of networks utilizing the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). STP is a network protocol that ensures loop-free topology in Ethernet networks by dynamically disabling and enabling ports to prevent broadcast storms and ensure network stability. BPDUs and TCNs
