Overview
PC and workstation LANs are proliferating in branch offices for many
reasons:
to take advantage of low-cost PCs and new client-server applications;
to share expensive peripheral devices;
to customize applications to meet local needs; and
to accommodate workgroup computing styles.
This trend is forcing corporate network planners to consider solutions for
linking the often large number of branch offices to the corporate informa-
tion network. The problem is how to do it reliably, yet cost effectively.
Compounding the problem is the fact that there are typically no MIS
resources at the branch office.
Just as every corporation’s networking requirements are different, so are the
solutions for each environment. Connecting branch offices, for example,
may be as simple as establishing a single Ethernet link per remote office
back to a corporate or regional site using a leased line, as shown in figure 1.
