path through the network.  The worst case path is the path between the two Fast Ethernet

devices (DTEs) which have the longest round trip delay time.

PDV  =  (sum of cabling delays) + (sum of repeater & media
converter delays) + (DTE pair delays) + (safety margin)

PDV is the Path Delay Value of the worst case path.  For the network to adhere

to IEEE 802.3u standard, this value must be less than 512 BT.  The safety margin is

specified in BT and may be a value between 0 and 5.  This margin can be used to

accommodate unexpected delays, such as an extra long patch cable.  A safety margin of at

least 4 BT is recommended.
