Two devices are connected to the Internet and communicating with one another. A squirrel chews through one of the wires in the network that is currently being used by the devices to communicate. The network immediately begins using a different path through the network and communication continues as normal.

This situation best exemplifies which principle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Fault-Tolerance

Explanation:

Fault tolerance refers to the ability of a system (computer, network, cloud cluster, etc.) to continue operating without interruption when one or more of its components fail.

The situation exemplifies the principle of fault - tolerance.

  • We are told that a squirrel chewed through the wire carrying the network but that yet the network immediately switches to a different path and the communication continues normally.

  • This means that even though there is a failure in the hardware, the system continues to operate without smoothly without malfunction or with little to no impact on it's operation.

In the ICT world, this process is known as fault tolerance.

Examples include;

- Use of UPS(Uninterruptible power supply) to prevent the computer system from going off in the event of primary power failure.

- A plane with double engine so that if one has a fault, the other one can be utilized.
