It is a type of disaster recovery plan that is specifically designed for Internet and external network infrastructure of an organization.
The network disaster recovery plan is usually in the form a formal document that is created by network administrator and other key IT /network management staff. Depending on the underlying network and organization requirements, it may include plans and procedures for recovering:
