Redundant Connections

Redundant connections refer to additional pathways or links within a system that serve as backups in case the primary connection fails. In various contexts, such as networking, transportation, or utilities, these extra connections ensure reliability and continuous service. For instance, if one internet cable is damaged, a redundant connection can keep the network operational. While having redundancies increases costs and complexity, it enhances safety and resilience, preventing disruptions in critical services, such as electricity, communications, or transportation, thus ensuring smooth operation even during unexpected failures.
