For my current understanding of rstp, the proposal flag and agreement flag should not be set to 1 at the same time, and they should also not be set when the network topology is stable, which means there is no topology change happens. In rstp, the flag field, 1 byte long, has been modified to accommodate port designations and proposalagreement between adjacent switches. With rapid stp or multiple stp mst, a change of the ports state to forwarding, as well as the role change from designated to root, can trigger a topology change.

A bridge sends a bpdu frame using the unique mac address of the port itself as a source address, and a wellknown destination address of the stp multicast address 01. Rstp sends bpdus and populates the flag byte in a slightly different manner than the manner used by 802. A bridge now sends a bpdu with its current information every seconds 2 by default, even if it does not receive any from the root bridge.
Times that a bpdu packet is received from a bridge external to the mst region with a message age value greater than the configured value of the max age parameter spanningtree maximum age command.
