Branch Office Routing
Introduction
The 1980’s were christened recently by the media and vendors alike as the
decade of growth for internetworking. The abundance of protocols, cable
types, speeds and feeds, as well as unremitting growth, have made designing
simple yet comprehensive internetworking solutions the ultimate challenge
of the 1990’s.
In the coming decade, the industry will be asked routinely to provide
customers with multiprotocol support, easy connectivity from home offices
to branch-office local-area networks, and uncomplicated management of the
remote networks. In addition, managing the costs of installation, use and
maintenance of these internetworks will be a prime consideration.
This note covers the issues related to the implementation of branch-office
networks, and the steps Hewlett-Packard is taking to help customers build
branch-office networks that meet business needs while minimizing costs.
