In this research, we conducted a medium scale trace-driven study of redundant networks by setting up a few wireless nodes at 4 distinct network locations, including the access link of Wakkanai City Office and of Wakkanai Hokusei Gakuen University networks of different sizes. This work was targeted to realize the importance of establishing redundant networks in the regional schools of Soya areas thereby providing a by-pass network during natural disasters. The issue of safeguarding networks during disasters is a very important issue. From the network management view point, this issue should be considered during network design phase. However, most of the organizations including schools are not giving much consideration to this issue and networks are highly vulnerable during disaster as these networks are at the risk of single point of failure due to the lack of back up network. In this paper, we are highlighting the importance of redundant network for the academic institutions. We emphasize that redundant networks established over Wi-Fi could be a better option during disaster period. We surveyed the potential of establishing tertiary network of Wi-Fi that can act as a redundant network during the disaster in Soya region of Hokkaido.
