ERNET India • Main Objectives • Set up and run a nationwide Network for Academic and Research community in India. • Undertake and promote Research & Development (R&D) in the area of computer networking. • Human resource Development in the area of computer networking. • Host content in various disciplines for users in the education and research institutions. • Domain Registration under ernet.in,ac.in, res.in and edu.in • Strengths • Support of Academic community • Connectivity through any media. • Reliable infrastructure
ERNET India Infrastructure Highlights • 15 Point of presence (POPs) at premier E & R institutions in the country. • STM-1(155Mbps)Ready Fiber-Optic Backbone • Satellite Hub in C-band at Bangalore : • Beaming 3 Transponder of 36 MHz • Secure Network Infrastructure • State of the art Network Control Centres at ERNET PoPs • Training Lab for Network administrators and users
INTERNET connectivity under various schemes • UGC Infonet • 152 universities connected over ERNET backbone.- Scalable network • Multimedia capabilities for video conferencing and distance learning • ICAR Net • A total of 277 institutions connected. Network to support applications such as VOIP,IP,FAX, Video conferencing. • NVS Net • NVS Head quarters at New Delhi,200 schools, 8 regional centres & 5 Training Centers • AICTE Net • Connectivity to AICTE recognized colleges and regional centers. A total of 48 institutions connected. Very Large potential
IPv6 in ERNET • ERNET is running IPv4/IPv6 dual stack backbone • Any user in ERNET can be provided IPv6 connectivity
Routing in ERNET • Each ERNET PoP is connected to one or more upstream internet service provider e.g. Reliance, Bharti. • ERNET PoPs at Delhi , Mumbai, kolkata & Chennai have peering with NIXI ( Network Internet Exchnage of India). • ERNET PoP at C-DAC Mumbai has peering with European Research Network GEANT. • Routing information between various PoPs is exchanged through OSPF.
ERNET- GEANT Connectivity • To provide direct connection between the two region to support current & potential co-operative research between two regions. • Share each others resources. • Regular IP traffic between ERNET & GEANT

GARUDA NETWORK • GARUDA is a collaboration of Science researchers and experimenters on nation wide computational Grid having hardware and software infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high end computational capabilities. • GARUDA has a total backbone capacity of 2.4 Gbps. • It connects a total of 45 institutes in 17 cities across India. • 22 Institutes have been connected at 100 Mbps and 23 institutes at 10 Mbps bandwidth. • GARUDA is being used for applications in the field of Bio-Informatics, Weather Forecasting, Astronomy, Earthquake etc.
Summary • ERNET (Education and Research Network) was the first dedicated and integrated step towards encouraging and enabling the research and education community in the country. • Recently the backbone for ERNET India has been redesigned as per the requirement for deployment of MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) in ERNET backbone. • Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has been deployed over ERNET India’s backbone. Deployment of MPLS has enabled ERNET India to offer its users MPLS VPN services. • The backbone of ERNET is dual stack. It means ERNET backbone can support IPv6 & IPv4 traffic simultaneously. ERNET can provide IPv6 connectivity to its users. • Internet bandwidth is distributed across the PoPs for redundancy.
