I did a few searches on cisco.com and google and they appear to be different works for the same thing. I'll agree that the explanation I read in my Examcram wasn't that explicit. http://netcert.tripod.com/ccna/switches/2switch.html "Ports that have the lowest cost to the root bridge are called designated ports. The other ports on the bridge are considered non designated and will not send or receive traffic, (blocking mode)."
