Project help

Hi friends...
I have an small project to do, and considering I am kinda of a beginner, i would appreciate any kind of help... I am not looking for full explanation, just some guidance and things I should give special attention to... There is a picture, and here is Project reqiurements:

It is necessary to define the address range and solve the routing in the network given in Figure 1 The network consists of a central location ,where the server farm is, and where all communication links to the Internet end up and 320 remote locations. Network, with a central location and the remote 320 locations is an autonomous system and has an AS number 6701 At central location, there are two local area networks with 110 computers per LAN. The two LANs are connected to the routers that connect to the Internet (one LAN to a router). For each of the 320 remote sites there are between 5 and 10 computers.
For addressing there is the available address range for the private network to the RFC in 1918. The user has a PI (Provider Independent) address range 17.19.32.0/23 User network is connected to four ISPs whose AS numbers 15982, 13004, 8400 and 31042
Remote site primarily used by information system that runs on servers that are on the server farm in a central location. In addition, the use of electronic mail services and web.
In LANs from a central location are workstations used by employees for work at the company system and to access the Internet (electronic mail services and Web).
Internal routing: internal routing must provide very fast convergence of routing protocols in the event of any change in the network.
External Routing: A user with all neighboring autonomous systems BGP session has been established, and one of them gets the following routes:
• AS 15 982 - full BGP routing tables
• AS 13 004 - only the routes from AS 13 004
• AS 31 042 - full BGP routing tables
• AS 8400 - full BGP routing tables
Routing needs to be resolved so that the access to the Internet using all links equally to the extent it is possible to realize. User network must not be used as a transit for traffic between ASs to which there are links to it.

Here are some of my questions:

1) How to connect 320 remote locations to a router, when router has only couple of ports?
2) How to define server farm, in mean of addressing ? Should farm have one(static?) IP address and how it works?
3)Difference between full BGP tables and partial ones?
4) What does it mean for me : " In LANs from a central location are workstations used by employees for work at the company system and to access the Internet (electronic mail services and Web)."

Thanks for any help...

Is this a school homework assignment?

1) Usually you connect many hosts into many access switches, which connect to distribution switches, and then into a pair of local core switches, which connect to routers w/ limited number of ports.

2) each server in the farm has a unique IP, usually static.

3) full BGP table means ALL possible routes in the internet.
Partial table means a subset of the full table, depending on how you or the carrier defines it.

4) not sure what #4 means...I kind of got lost in middle of reading through your long post 🙂
 
This is definitely a homework problem.

1) likely in the scope of the problem, the remote routers are limited and central routers are "unlimited" ports. Large core routers can have a few hundred interfaces.
2/3) Cooky answered this as best we can with no information
4) I suspect this suggests that you have users at the central location.
 
Definitely homework, and I personally would need more specific questions to offer assistance (considering I may not be able to give any at all.) Sounds like you just copied everything from a book.
 
Thank you for help... it is homework, and text is fully copied... no further explanations are given... Routers are with just couple of ports ( wanl, ethetnet...) so maybe some sort of VPN to use... ?
