In a static topology, there's no need for a dynamic routing protocol. Only
when the lack of flexibility and slow (manual) reconfiguration become issues
do you need to think about routing protocols. For a simple, stable network,
use static routes.

If there are no redundant links, then static routing will be faster.
If there is a redundant link, Dynamic routing will give the benefit of fault
tolerance.

Just being picky, but I can't see how static routing would give you faster
traffic transmission than dynamic routing. The router still looks into the
routing table and finds a route for the first process-switched packet. From
then on it uses the fast-switching cache, (unless configured not to
Static routes does seem the best way to go in your situation. If it is a hub and spoke
arrangment as i believe it to be in your case then static routes must be configured on
the central router pointing to the networks on the remote locations and static routes

Thanks for your reply
Just want to clarify what I meant.
When I said that static route gives us faster traffic
transmission, it meant that static route's
administrative distance is 1, which is lower than
other dynamic routing protocols' administrative
distance.
Can I say this?
Please correct me
That's correct, and having a lower administrative distance means that a
static route is "preferred" over a dynamic route, but not "faster." If the
router has more than one way to get to a network in its routing table, it
selects the path with the lowest administrative distance, which would be
Yes, a route has to be added to each router. Additionally, any hosts that
will be configured to send data accross the WAN will need there default
gateway set to their closest router.
Alternatively, you can use a routing protocol like RIP to have the routers

Subject: Static Route Question
To the Group,
I currently have
No. The ISP is providing the T1 service. The customer went with
another T1 provider, therefore the ISP wanted the static route for the
customer removed from their router. But once this was done, they could
not e-mail that customer or view their web site. The actual static
route was:
Are they using a new IP address for the customer's Web site and e-mail
server? If they are using the old IP addresses and they started with
204.90.95.0, they can't get there now since you removed the static route to
that destination. It makes sense.
This would be like removing the sidewalk to
