The showstp command only shows bridging and STP parameters and has nothing to do with ethernet! Unfortunately I didn't find a *short* document where all that bridge and STP stuff is described.
The Standard Document is http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1D-1998.pdf but it's heavy to read and understand!
Maybe anyone else on the list knows a better document!

Many thanks Reinhard, you have been very helpful.

I don't understand ALL of the stuff reported by the showstp command , but
that is probably because I do not have enough knowledge about ethernet (or
maybe networking in general), which of course is an issue I should not spam
to this list.  ;-)

However, the information about the 15 seconds learning time helped me to
understand a little more what's happening in my system.
Now I have shortened the delay to 20 seconds and tested it on several
different computers, it seems to work 100% of the test cases.

Once again, thanks for the help.
