The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is derived from the router ' s routing table and contains the exact forwarding entries used to route packets. It directly guides packet forwarding decisions by matching incoming packets with the correct output interface or next-hop address ​.

Explanation of VLAN Pool Assignment Algorithms:

In WLANs, VLAN pools help reduce broadcast domains and improve network performance by distributing users across multiple VLANs. Two algorithms are used for VLAN assignment:

Even Assignment Algorithm:

The number of users in each VLAN is even.

This algorithm assigns users evenly across VLANs, ensuring a balanced distribution of users in each VLAN.

When STAs go offline and online again, their VLANs and IP addresses may easily change.

Since the assignment is based on maintaining even distribution, a device (STA) may not be assigned the same VLAN when it reconnects, leading to potential IP address changes.

Hash Assignment Algorithm:

The number of users in each VLAN is uneven.

The hash algorithm assigns users to VLANs based on a hash value (e.g., derived from the MAC address). This may result in an uneven distribution of users across VLANs.

VLANs and IP addresses remain unchanged for STAs that go offline and online again.

The hash algorithm ensures that a device reconnects to the same VLAN, preserving its IP address.

RSTP improves convergence by introducing changes to the BPDU handling mechanism and port roles. However, RSTP does not rely on a fixed timeout of four Hello intervals for negotiation failure. Instead, RSTP uses a more dynamic mechanism to detect topology changes. The other options describe valid RSTP improvements ​.
