Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is identified under which standard?

RSTP speeds up the convergence of the Spanning Tree Protocol by redefining how port roles and state transitions occur, and it was standardized as IEEE 802.1W (an amendment to the original 802.1D). The other standards cover different technologies: 802.1X is for network access control, 802.3 is Ethernet, and 802.11 is wireless networking. So Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is identified under IEEE 802.1W.
