FR relay is quiet effective, especially with hub and multi-spoke deployemnts. One of the big advantages as well, reducing interface costs on the Hub end, as you onely have one serial interface with multiple FR PVC's?
A further solution is to have a xDSL / Cable installation at the remote sites, and then vpn them to the hub route, or even VPN mesh them to each other and the HUB. It really depends on what sort of traffic flows you are expecting. Say for exampled you had a remote office that browsed the web etc, but need to connect back to the hub for internal services such as customer database / internal collabrative servers etc, then havbing a local break out, with VPN would be ok This would also reduce the dependency of the spokes on the hub for internet connectivity and would be able to run a degraded service should the hub fail. If all the spokes are doing si connecting back to the Hub, eg terminal services (SNA, TN3270 etc) > Dear All, > > At first, I have 2 locations so I choose leased line (128k) to > connect together. > Later on, there have another remote site and it need connect to > main site as well but the traffic from this new site is very > bursty and not using so frequently. > > Can I use a small FR network with 2 remotes and 1 central site > (hub-and-spoke design) to make the connection with CIR 128k at > 3 points? > > TIA. > > Lo Ching > Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65414&t=65401 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
