Abstract
The INFLIBNET proposes to develop Wide Area as well as Local Area
Networks to bring out the knowledge sharing among the universities in India.
The author describes the configurations of typical Local Area Networks
(LANs) for universities in conjunction with Wide area VSAT network. The
topology of LAN can be based on Star, Bus and Ring topologies or their
combinations. Details of the proposed configuration are provided and its
implementation in two phases is suggested. Establishment of such a network
will encourage sharing of information and improve overall quality of
academic and research work.
