Packet Tracer does not use the standard Spanning Tree Protocol for performance reasons. It uses a simplified and more efficient method to achieve the same purpose (breaking up loops). However, the end result of the this method will not yield the same configuration as the true Spanning Tree Protocol. In future versions the actual STP algorithm will be more accurately modeled.
