    Introduction
    ► An idea from Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor to Govt. of India
    and National Knowledge Commission.
    Commission For the execution of National
    Knowledge Network (NKN), following committees were formed:
    ► High Level Committee (HLC)
    ► T h i l Advisory
    Technical Ad i C
    Committee
    itt (TAC)
    ► NKN will connect Educational Institutes, R&D institutions, Health
    service facilities, Agricultural
    g institutions and Libraries of the country
    y
    ► In March 2010, Government of India allocated a budget of INR 5990
    Crore for the Implementation of NKN
    ► Implementation plan was finalized by TAC under the guidance of HLC
    ► National Informatics Centre (NIC) was appointed as the Project
    Execution Agency (PEA)
    ► In Phase – I NKN plans to connect 550+ institutions by March, 2011
    ► On Conclusion of the final Phase NKN would have connected 1500+
    institutions
    Page 3 National Knowledge Network
    Key Highlights
    ► NKN will provide a common platform to the scientists, researchers,
    doctors scholars and students to work together for advancing human
    doctors,
    development.
    ► NKN shall be a knowledge base for revolutionizing the education
    system
    t off country
    t
    ► The architecture of NKN has been designed for reliability, availability
    & scalability
    y
    ► The network consists of an ultra-high speed core, starting with
    multiple 2.5/10 G and progressively moving towards 40/100 Gigabits
    per Second (Gbps)
    ► The core is complimented with a distribution layer covering all districts
    at appropriate speeds
    ► The participating institutions at the edge would seamlessly connect to
    NKN at Gigabit per second speed.

    Technical Overview

    ► The backbone of the network starts from 2.5 Gbps and progressively
    mo es onto 10 Gbps connectivity
    moves connecti it between
    bet een 7 Supercore
    S percore (fully
    (f ll
    meshed) locations across India.
    ► The network is further spread out through Core locations with multiple
    of 2.5/10 Gbps partially meshed connectivity with Supercore
    locations.
    ► The network architecture and governance structure allows users with
    options to connect to the distribution layer as well.
    ► For special interest groups, NKN enables Virtual Private Networks
    ► NKN provides international connectivity to its users for global
    collaborative research. Presently, NKN is connected to:
    ► Trans Eurasia Information Network (TEIN3)
    ► Similar connectivity to GLORIAD network is in the pipeline
