SPAN only works on local switches.  That is why they made RSPAN.  Switch
A has a source you want to track.  Switch B has a Destination you want
it logged to.  The RSPAN Vlan is how you transport the traffic from
Switch A to B or C or D for that matter.

hi. thank you for the answer. correct me if I am wrong:
RSPAN source session is the session between the source port or source
vlan
and the RSPAN VLAN (this sessions being located on the source switch)
and RSPAN destinatination session is the session between the RSPAN VLAN
and
the destination interface (this session being located on the destination
switch ) ?
