Time to learn and understand RSTP (essentially the same for the basic STP)?

Sometimes, I'd wish Netgear would publish such clear KB articles on RSTP configuration, as available with other vendors e.g. here Network Switch - Configure RSTP (Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol) in a ring topology
appreciate the links for education. Question related more towards Netgear, when i have a switch that is non-netgear branded and it has RSTP enabled, does disabling the STP status on the Netgear port where this non-netgear switch is connected drop BPDU traffic so the other netgear switches essentially ignore the non-netgear switch?
