the same time? What will you tell the user?

Explanation:
A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host multitude of downstream USB
ports, and multiple peripheral devices connected in a tiered-star topology. Additional USB hubs
may be included in the tiers, allowing branching into a tree structure, subject to a limit of 5 levels of
tiers per controller. Up to 127 devices, including the hub devices, may be connected to a single
host controller.
