Checking Bridge Statistics 4-5
Learning
means that the port is one step closer to bridging
packets. Since the active topology may still be changing, a port in
this state receives packets but does not bridge them. However,
because the active topology is more stable than when the port is
in the listening state, the port participates in the learning process
of its bridge. In the learning process, the bridge associates the
source address of each packet it receives with the identifier of the
port on which it received the packet.
