  Routing involves two basic activities
  determining optimal routing paths and
  transporting packets through an internetwork
  (packet switching). Although packet switching is
  relatively straightforward, path determination
  can be very complex. Routing protocols use
  metrics (i.e., path length, reliability, delay,
  bandwidth, load, and communication cost) to
  evaluate what path will be the best for a packet
  to travel.Proper design and configuration of
  routers and switches is a vital part for an
  effective network. GB Engineers are certified by
  the industry's major networking manufacturers.
  With an emphasis on reliability and security, GB
  Engineers carefully work with you and the
  manufacturer to design the right network
  configuration. We focus on your organization and
  the processes you perform -- taking everything
  into account -- from existing equipment and
  applications, to growth planning and future
  system needs.The strength of GB network design
