Rationale Provisioning An Internet Service Provider (isp) With A Secondary Isp Involves Setting Up A Backup Or Redundant Internet Connection To Ensure Continuity Of Service In Case The Primary Isp Experiences Downtime Or Disruptions. The Purpose Is To Enhance Reliability, Minimize Downtime, And Maintain Internet Connectivity For Users Or Businesses That Rely Heavily On A Stable Internet Connection. In Light Of The Aforementioned Factors, The Bureau Of Corrections Has Recognized The Importance Of Acquiring A Secondary Or Backup Isp Alongside The Current Isp Infrastructure. The Primary Line Boasts A Bandwidth Of 500mbps Uplink/500mbps Downlink, Complemented By The Secondary Line With 200mbps Uplink/200mbps Downlink. This Strategic Setup Aims To Guarantee Uninterrupted Service For The Bureau Of Corrections Should The Primary Isp Encounter Any Downtime Or Disruptions. B. Specific Isp Parameters 1.
