Think about the following points,
Convergence time
Scalability
What if u run OSPF in 4 offices and headquarters in metropolitan city with
high speed links .For regional offices insert a static entry at each router
.I think there is no point running OSPF or RIP on stub networks.
Regards,
Nouman Khan

Subject: OSPF or RIP-V2 design
Hi Group,
A company have 4 offices in metropolitan city. All 4 are connected with high
speed network (1 or 2 T1's ). These four offices are in fully mess. Each
metropolitan city has approximately 40-60 regional offices connected to it.
They all have Leased link say 64 or 128K.
Total: 4 metropolitan city offices x 40-60 offices in each
One of the metropolitan city is Headquarter and have database and mail
server inside. That got to be accessed from the all remote sites (regional
and other metropolitan cities).
Which protocol is best for this scenario ?? RIPV2 or OSPF ? (no bgp, eigrp
or igrp).
From my calculation: RIP should be enough as no of hops are less then the
required.
------------------------------
Headquarter--------->4 Metro offices(4hops) ------->50-60 remote offices (1
hop) = total 6 hops total
So in worse case if packet goes through messed network (4 metro offices) we
will be not using more then 6 hops.
In addition to this RIP-V2 doesn't need more processing power and high end
router.
OSPF requires memory and high end routers.
What you guys think ??
