Question Description
A company needs four separate offices around the world. The managers want to be able to connect these offices together using the Internet, and they want to make sure that each location’s network is available to all of the others. That is, they want the routing information for all four networks to be available at each site. Any employee should be able to access information located at the remote site. Management is worried about passing information over the Internet and monitoring for security and compliance reasons.
Answer the following questions and requirements to write your document of 3 5 pages. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic information technology (IT) articles or real-life IT findings that are not found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Complete the following:
- Discuss the latest implementations of routing protocols that would be necessary to accommodate the company’s Wide Area Network (WAN) and Internet connectivity.
- Where is each protocol used in a WAN? How does each protocol work in a WAN?
- How would the routing protocols discussed help in the monitoring of passing traffic over the corporate network and the Internet under safe and secure conditions? Provide examples of how this would be done and why it would be done in this fashion.
- If you were able to develop another solution for this network that supports the organizational requirements, what would be your recommendation? Compare and contrast your alternative with the one initially discussed.
Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
