In more complex topographies, any transceiver in a multi-point bus can transmit to all other transceivers. Usually these topographies can only run at very slow clock rates because they only support very slow signal rise times (10 ns to 50 ns). While useful in some situations, the drawbacks usually outweigh the benefits. The constraints involved in designing these topographies with good signal integrity are beyond the scope of this document.
