An organization has a number of Local Area Networks (LANs) linked to form a single...

Ensuring Network Continuity:

Permanent alternative routing provides predefined alternate pathways for data traffic to follow in case the primary route fails.

Advantages of Alternative Routing:

Prevents single points of failure in Wide Area Networks (WANs).

Improves resilience and ensures uninterrupted communication between Local Area Networks (LANs).

Comparison with Other Options:

Third-party emergency repair contract: Useful but not immediate.

Pre-built servers and routers: Focuses on hardware availability, not network continuity.

Full off-site backups: Effective for data recovery, but doesn’t ensure real-time network continuity.
