The number of seconds this device or VLAN waits for a hello message from the root bridge before deciding the root has become unavailable and performing a reconvergence. The interval between each configuration BPDU sent by the root bridge. The preference that STP gives this port relative to other ports for forwarding traffic out of the spanning tree.
