A typical provisioning of the interfaces on the router may be:

Interface Description	Speed	Connection to
Ethernet0	10 Mbps	Sales
Ethernet1	10 Mbps	Accounting
FastEthernet	100 Mbps	Engineering
Serial1/0	512 Kbps	ISP

Another example is the case of the Internet Service Provider itself. It too has a router, which directs traffic from an Internet backbone to its many customers:

A typical router provisioning may be:

Interface Description	Speed	Connection to
ATM2/0.1	512 Kbps	Customer1
ATM2/0.2	384 Kbps	Customer2
ATM2/0.3	384 Kbps	Customer3
Serial2	544 Mbps	Internet backbone
