In 5-6 pages double spaced (MLA format), identify a specific piece of hardware or Internet infrastructure
to research. For the purposes of this assignment simply choosing ”Cisco Routers” won’t suffice, instead

comparison, but to try to understand the features and represent the real-world consequences of your chosen
hardware/infrastructure to enterprise operations.
