Not to mention that CI doesn't support a bus
topology, only a star. And a CI network is limited to a 90m radius,
while Ethernet was designed for a maximum station separation of 2.5Km.
So please remind me again just exactly what is so similar between CI and
Ethernet?
I thought a CI coupler was mostly a transformer. If so, would a CI network
not behave much like a bus, even if it didn't look like one? A lot more like
a bus I would have thought than modern ethernet which neither looks nor
behaves like a bus.
(Not that I'm worried about whether CI is like Ethernet or not...)
