Yes. for sure, I know we must diversificate the vendor carriers. But for now we are having &nbsp;for private network, MPLS as a standard and for backup the internet carrier, so in order to have an IPSN architecture I would ask, How can I be sure of having a MPLS network of X Mbps &nbsp;and the Internet network of Y Mbps? &nbsp;I would say it also depends of the number of users and applications &nbsp;running on the network. So bottom line How can I define a Networkcapacity to my &nbsp;Company?<br />
<br />
I hope I have ecplained myself better.

I would like to know if there is a industry standard for hiring &nbsp;2 network connections for subsidiaries connected to HQ. One must be MPLS, and the backup link could be Internet/VPN circuit. So is there a Industry reference? or maybe a CISCO best practice? &nbsp;I would like to know if &nbsp;both link should be in the same bandwidth as well? <br />
<br />
Thanks!

Network best practices.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
