Figure 1.3-2 Example of a self-management VPN utilizing a ring network and network partition
Network Partition combined with a ring network using a ring protocol allows you to integrate the high reliability
and availability of the ring protocol with the easy configuration of partitions. Thus, you are able to accommodate
changes in network scale with minimum investment.
As shown in Figure 1.3-2, in a self-management VPN system where a municipality-owned public VPN is used to
provide communication service, a district backbone network requires high reliability to prevent system overflow
and achieve system recovery with a minimum downtime period, and requires flexibility to achieve quick change
of system configuration in response to increase/decrease in users without influencing the performance of the
system. Network partition with a ring network meets these needs. This solution also has the advantage of
reducing additional costs.
