Re: Dynamic or Static routing

If you need to ask these questions then static routing is more than adequate.

You need dynamic routing where you have multiple paths through your network. IE: Load balancing/ Fail-over lines inside your network. (Although you could
use metrics and static routes here if it is a very simple network).

RIP is NEVER a solution for a service provider. OSPF and IS-IS are two
of the most used solutions, although I do know of one instance where a larger
provider ran there customer routes through iBGP.

These requirements also change on whether you want to run MPLS in your core.

My recommendation - if you have a simple network, keep it simple by using statics.

Hello,

Do anyone use or have a complete static-routing based network for customers (Cable Modem, DSL, dial-up, etc.) and/or backbone? Why static routing could be better than dynamic routing (RIPv2 or OSPF)?

Thanks in advance.

Saludos. Pablo.
