Invalid Cascading.
An example of invalid cascading is shown in Figure 10.
When sending packets over the network, it is possible to send information
through up to four cascaded repeaters; however, five or more cascaded
repeaters will not produce guaranteed results. Referring to Figure 10, there
are four repeaters between PC A and PC B so the connection between PC A
and PC B is possible; there are a total of five repeaters between PC A and PC
C, making the connection between PC A and PC C invalid.
