Description
You have been tasked with
reconfiguring the network for your company, which has grown considerably over
the past year. You have used only static routing in the past, but you do not
wish to spend the administrative time required to maintain the routing tables
now that the network has grown. You have recently experienced numerous
inaccuracies in the routing table caused by entries you made when in a hurry.
Criteria for the
reconfiguration includes the following:
- You would like to automate
the entry and updating of routing information, but you are concerned about
excessive memory and processor utilization if you implement dynamic
routing protocols.
- You also wish to minimize
the use of network bandwidth.
- You prefer that the most
efficient use of bandwidth be made so that packets will travel to their
destination over the truly shortest path, rather than just the path with
the lowest number of hops.
- You have heard that
routing loops can be a problem and wish to avoid them. However, you are
concerned that if a link goes down, there should be redundancy so that
traffic will go through.
