EtherNet/IP Network Chapter 5
Linear Network Topology
A linear network topology is a collection of devices that are daisy-chained
together across an EtherNet/IP network. Devices that can connect to a linear
network topology use embedded switch technology to eliminate the need for a
separate switch, as required in Star network topologies.

Embedded Switch Technology Application Guide, publication
ENET-AP005.
