Overview:
Enterprise networks are medium-to-large networks which connect a few hundred or a few thousand end hosts to each other and to other networks, such as the Internet. Providing reliable and efficient networking service while minimizing the need for network administration is a critical need in today's world where availability is a priority but the time and artifice of human network administrators is often at a premium. Some protocol must be used to serve as the foundation for these networks. However, the most obvious choices for this task (Internet Protocol and Ethernet) are both inappropriate; Ethernet cannot scale to large networks, and IP scales well but is overly difficult to configure effectively.
