Question
I. A company wants to connect two offices located in Memphis, Tennessee, and Laramie, Wyoming. The distance between these two offices is 1025 miles. The offices need to transfer data at 512 kbps. Which is the least expensive solution using the hypothetical prices in Table 11-2 below:
1. the T-1 connections
2. the frame relay connections
3. the ATM connections
4. the MPLS and VPN over IP solution
Provide the detailed computing procedures for each option and then suggest the least expensive solution.
II. What happens if an office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, also must be connected to both Memphis (Distance: 365 miles) and Laramie (Distance: 1275 miles) at a rate of 512 kbps? Which of the above 4 solutions is cheapest now?
Again, provide the detailed computing procedures for each option and then suggest the least expensive solution.
