Driving Forces
India still in First generation Internet
International initiatives towards NGN
Revolutional technology and funding
possibilities
International collaborations and Interesting
Research opportunities in Application,
Engineering and Middleware
Provide Dependable,Consistent, Pervasive,
Secure and Inexpensive access to
computational resources

Indian Initiatives towards NGN
ERNET Upgradation
Towards
National QoS Testbed
NGN
C-DAC’s I-GRID
4
ERNET - History
Education and Research Network
Initiated in 1986 and funded by GoI and
UNDP
Participation by Nation’s Premier Institutions
like NCST, IITs and IISc
Objectives: State of the art Communication
Infrastructure, R&D, Training, Consultancy
and Content development
5
ERNET – Connectivity details
The ERNET backbone is a judicious mix
of terrestrial and satellite-based wide
area networks
International connectivity is achieved
through gateways at New Delhi,
Bombay, Bangalore and Calcutta, with a
total capacity of 6.64 Mb
Daily traffic over ERNET exceeds 20 GB

National QoS Test bed
Collaborative effort from C-DAC, IITs & IISc
QoS Test bed for experimenting with research
ideas
Outcomes expected would include
• Providing QoS in the Internet
• Interplay with non QoS networked
applications
• Control and Management of QoS in IP
networks
8
Envisaged Connectivity
Creation of Local test beds connected to the
QoS WAN Test bed
QoS WAN Test bed will overlay on existing
ERNET backbone
QoS test bed traffic and regular ERNET traffic
logically separated by running them over two
separate VPNs
9
Research Areas in the QoS Testbed
Development and deployment of technologies
and solutions for distance education
Experiment to provide application QoS by
providing priority, RSVP and IntServ
architecture
Non Co-operative and Co-operative
Measurement and Characterization
IP Telephony applications
Protocol support for Mobile Wireless
Endpoints
10
Applications
Robotic control applications
Distributed simulation and CAD conferencing
Applications end point API support for QoS on
IPv6
Telemedicine and Real Time guided clinical
investigations
Deployment of IPTV, H.323 and SIP based
telephony and Content Delivery Network
11
