I reposted becouse the diagram was incomprensible :-(
maybe this is out of topic, but:
i have an embedded system with two lan adapters running linux,
i would like to wire a lot of it in a "daisy chain way":
sys1 sys2 sysn-1 sysn
+---------+ +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
|eth0 eth1| |eth0 eth1| |eth0 eth1| |eth0 eth1|
+---------+ +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
| | | | | | |
+--------+ +--x--+ +--x--+ +--x--+
| switch | cross-cables
+--------+
This approach eliminate the need of expensive switches.
It's feasible?
how (bridging, routing?)
There is a limit of chaining devices number?
Any help will be appreciated.
