Using Condition
The load for every 10Mbps port is
evenly distributed.
It is suitable for the network
running in client server mode. The
server is better to be connected in
port 1~4. The budget for port 1~2
is smaller than port 3~4 whereas it
is larger than port 5~10.
Meanwhile, the budget for port
3~4 is greater than port 5~10's
budget. If hubs are connected, it
is preferred to connect them to
ports 1~4.
Resource for port 3~6 are larger
than ports 7~10.
