The only way it makes sense in a medium sized office is if you have branch locations. &nbsp;Unless your location is really large and has department level routers, there is really no reason to use any routing protocol.

One more add, how about with a wireless router added into the office ?<br />
<br />
I see that the wireless router could support OSPF, so how do it apply to the normal office ?

Can anyone think of some real stiutation of &nbsp;OSPF application in a medium size office ? In my point of view, different departments are assigned with different VLANs which could communicate in a MLS. For internet router, they usually use bgp controlled by ISP. It seems that there is not much application for OSPF...

OSPF scenario

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
