Reflection Blog 11

Redundancy is defined as "the inclusion of extra components that are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components." Redundancy is useful in addressing the problems that occur with sending and receiving information on the internet because it provides additional information as a backup if a network system fails to function properly.

One problem that may occur when sending multiple packets is the possibility of some packets dropping. Network redundancy is something that may alleviate this issue by providing backup if information fails to reach its recipient.
