The maximum size is determined by the collision domain. When a message is sent between nodes, sometimes the message finds that the receiving node is busy and is bounced back to the transmitting node. The time it takes to send the message, bounce off the busy node and return to the original node determines the network's collision domain. Faster networks actually have shorter collision domains.
