♦Between any two end-stations in a collision domain, there may be up to five cable segments and four intermediate repeaters (hubs, hub stacks, or other repeaters).

♦If there is a path between any two end-stations containing five seg- ments and four repeaters, then at least two of the cable segments must be point-to-point link segments (e.g., 10BASE-T or 10BASE-
