Figure B-3 Shared 10BASE2 network
This network has the following properties:
No routing is required since the CWS and all nodes share one subnet.
The entire SP LAN is a single broadcast domain as well as a single collision
domain.
Performance is limited to one 10 Mbps HDX connection at a time.
Even if this performance limitation is acceptable, this setup is limited by a
maximum quantity of 30 stations on a 10BASE2 segment. In practice, no more
than 16 to 24 stations should be connected to a single 10BASE2 Ethernet
segment.
Segmented 10BASE2 network
Ethernet segmentation is used to overcome the limitations of a single shared
Ethernet. The CWS is equipped with additional Ethernet adapters and each one
is connected to a different shared 10BASE2 subnet as illustrated in Figure B-4
on page 396.
