When multiple paths from a bridge are least-cost paths, the chosen path uses the neighbor bridge with the lower bridge ID . The root port is thus the one connecting to the bridge with the lowest bridge ID . For example, in figure 3, if switch 4 was connected to network segment d instead of segment f, there would be two paths of length 2 to the root, one path going through bridge 24 and the other through bridge 92.
