When using a daisy chain network topology, a maximum of seven C-Bus
Networks (6 Network Bridges) can be placed one after another.
The deeper you go into the chain of C-Bus networks, you will find that there
is more propagation delay when programming and sending commands. As
a result it is recommended not to make a network Daisy Chain more than
four C-Bus networks deep.

A star network topology is when a number of C-Bus networks all connect
back to a single C-Bus network. Less than 100 C-Bus networks may be
connected to a single C-Bus network in a Star Network topology
(remembering that only 255 networks may be added to a single Toolkit
Project).
The C-Bus network that all other C-Bus networks connect to is commonly
referred to as a C-Bus Backbone network.
