This rule is really no longer accurate. To truly find out if your network
is within spec, you need to figure the round trip bit delay per segment and
device.
the 5-4-3 rule is about like the 80/20 rule great for the old days but not
for today.

limitations :
5 4 3
Maximum 5 Segments 4 Repeaters 3 Populated Segments
