    The 5-4-3-2-1 rule provides a simple framework for network design. It aims to limit collision domains by restricting the number of network segments, repeaters used to join segments, active devices attached to segments, and overall collision domains. Specifically, it recommends: 5 network segments, 4 repeaters to join segments, 3 segments with active devices, 2 segments without active devices, and 1 collision domain. This framework helps improve network performance and security by properly separating devices into logical groups.

    Network Design 5-4-3-2-1 Rule Cheat Sheet

    by David Pollack (Davidpol) via cheatography.com/2754/cs/7085/


    Introduction

    5-4-3-2-1 Rule

    The 5-4-3-2-1 rule embodies a simple recipe for network design. It may
    not be easy to find examples in practice, but this rule neatly ties together
    several important elements of network design theory.

    Collision Domains and Propagation Delays
    Collision domains: The total span of distance over which a packet can
    travel and potentially collide with another is its collision domain.
    When a network packet is transmitted over Ethernet network, it is possible
    for another packet from a different source to be transmitted close enough
    in time to the first packet to cause a traffic collision on the wire. The total
    span of distance over which a packet can travel and potentially collide
    with another is its collision domain.
    Propagation delays: are a property of the physical medium (e.g.,

    The 5 Components of This Rule


    The 5-4-3-2-1 rule limits the range of a collision domain by limiting the
    propagation delay to a "reasonable" amount of time. The rule breaks
    down into five key components as follows:
    5 - the number of network segments
    4 - the number of repeaters needed to join the segments into one collision

    Ethernet). Propagation delays help determine how much of a time

    domain

    difference between the sending of two packets on a collision domain is

    3 - the number of network segments that have active (transmitting)

    close enough to actually cause a collision. The greater the propagation

    devices attached

    delay, the increased likelihood of collisions.

    2 - the number of segments that do not have active devices attached


    1 - the number of collision domains
    Because the last two elements of the recipe follow naturally from the

    Network Segments
    A segment is a specially-configured subset of a larger network. The
    boundaries of a network segment are established by devices capable of
    regulating the flow of packets into and out of the segment, including

    others, this rule is sometimes also known as the "5-4-3" rule for short.
    5-4-3 Rule

    routers, switches, hubs, bridges, or multi-homed gateways (but not simple


    repeaters). Network designers create segments to physically separate
    related computers into groups.
    This grouping can improve network performance and security. In Ethernet
    networks, for example, computers send many broadcast packets onto the
    network, but only other computers on the same segment receive them.
    Network segments and subnets serve similar purposes; both create a
    grouping of computers. The difference between a segment and a subnet
    is as follows: a segment is a physical network construction, whereas a
    subnet is simply a higher-level software configuration.
    Rule: One cannot define a single IP subnet that functions correctly across
    multiple segments.
