bpdu-guard vs stp-protect ruckus switch

Can anyone explain what is the difference between stp-protect and bpdu-guard?
as far as I know stp-protect can be enabled on the end station port to prevent port from initiate or participate on STP topology, also bpdu-guard can be configured on the end station port to disable the port if a BPDU is received on that port. So I don't see the difference between two of them.
Thank you

Port Fast is a vendors proprietary method of putting a port into forwarding mode immediately without going through listening\learning\blocking\forwarding.....when a switch is in 802.1d mode. 802.1w introduced that feature with the standard. Regardless.....when the port receives BPDU's it will go through all of the steps. Therefore the port is receptive to bridge learning....... counter to BPDU guard.
