Too many hubs 
between the 
computers in the 
network 
Too many hubs (or repeaters) between the connected computers in the network may increase 
the number of network collision or other network problems. Remove unnecessary hubs from the 
network.

data path
A data path loop forms when there is more than one path or route between two networked 
computers. This results in broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance. 
Make sure there are no loops in your network topology.
