ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining the maximum number of cable segments between all possible node to node paths on a high performance serial bus. The method for determining the maximum cable hops on the serial bus, which is acyclic and based upon the IEEE 1994 standard, consists of traversing a direct path between two nodes via the parent links. Further, the number of traversed paths is reduced from all possible node-to-node paths to only leaf-to-leaf node paths and leaf-to-root node paths for efficiently identifying the maximum number of cable segments between any two nodes within the serial bus.
