I would devise an intelligent hub that would have enhanced capacities for other features such as remote management capability.
Switches are an addition o hubs and would also provide this prospective network with support capacities such as multiple bandwidths, bridge functionality, and router functionality.
I will install a bridge that will filter data packets according to their various addresses. This will forward only the appropriate packages to the relent address. The packet moves on if it does not belong. This function seperates the various files and ensures that each receives its correct one without clogging up the system. It also provides data security so that each receives only that which he is permitted to have access to. Bridges help th traffic. They require, however, that network managers install and update their list of addresses.
Routers are also an inescapable piece of my network. The router does many of the above functions reading the destination address for information, examining the contents of each packet, and establishing the most efficient path. All of this is performed by routing protocols.
I will use dynamic routing whereby the router will be able to automatically reconfigure its information table. It will be able to recalculate the lowest-cost path in terms of load, line delay, or bandwidth. I may even have one that will be able to rebalance the traffic load across multiple links. I will use the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) as routing protocol.
Routers are slower than bridge but provide better security. I may therefore use bridges and routers in conjunction. If I had to choose between one or the other, I would prefer the router even though its far more expensive and difficult to maintain. They also provide network management overhead.
I will want to prevent unauthorized entry of suspicious...
