salih,

STP is now considered an old, and outdated technology, even though 
it’s still used heavily.
and it has its fair share of problems.
if you’re interested in L2 interconnection, try to lookup material on 
TRILL;  those of you in the best practices class on switching during 
sdnog-2 should remember that we spoke about this a bit.

as always, i’d suggest looking through the RFCs, but here’s a pretty 
easy to follow presentation that helps make it a little easier to 
understand:
