Although most of the latency comes from your wireless link and the ISP connection, it still doesn't mean you shouldn't optimize the setup a bit. You mentioned in a later email that the reason for switch2 and 3 is that they needed more ports. That's fine, and there's nothing wrong with that type

In a 10Mb environ, what the heck! I would speculate that double-up won't make an ROI out of consolidation. However, this brings up a nasty little problem I'm looking at, and I might phrase this another way. How many cascaded switching devices can exist in a broadcast domain without creating

If the reason for the second switch is you ran out of ports, replacing it with a larger switch is fine if money in no object or you have another use for these two switches. Otherwise I wouldn't worry, the latency, though measurable is nothing to worry about compared to your Internet connection.

Do you know if there was a reason for Switch 3 being in the design? That's what I would try to find out Maybe it was necessary because Switch 2 is located in a wiring closet, whereas Switch 3 and the Wireless Bridge are in the main distribution frame. Or maybe Switch 2 only has

Isn't the issue of the maximum number of cascaded switches mostly a questions of how long it would take to reconfigure the spanning tree when problems occur? A max of 7 is recommended based on the timing of Configuration BPDUs, etc. I don't think it's really an issue of how much latency is

In the topology given, the real bottleneck is the wireless bridge ( assuming 11 meg shared ), and of course the ISP link speed. the switch to switch latency is not the killer here. other factors are numbers of users, especially the numbers crossing the wireless link. These suckers still tend to
