May I offer an alternative to the "routing protocol" school of thought?
In a hub and spoke environment, why not consider static routes? Quad zero from the branches to the hub. statics on the hub to the branches? I appreciate that the "routing protocol school" talks about statics as not being scalable, but really - after an initial setup, what's to maintain? So you add a few routers a year. how much work does adding a few more statics really involve? In all seriousness, what advantage does ANY routing protocol offer in a hub and spoke of fewer than a hundred or so routers? ( and I have customer networks that do exactly this. including a major tech company whose name is familiar to anyone familiar with any aspect of technology products and services these days, and whose RLAN / VPN network consist of two ATM DS3 hubs and several thousand spokes ) Chuck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 7:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: which is the best [7:23902] In a medium (50 routers) cisco only environment which routing protocol would be prefered ...
