Explanation
In Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), the Message Age in the BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) sent by the root bridge is set to 0. As BPDUs are forwarded by non-root switches, the Message Age is incremented. This timer is used to ensure that outdated information is not propagated indefinitely through the network. If the Message Age reaches a configured maximum value, the BPDU is discarded, and the network topology is recalculated.
