Overview IIT Kanpur's 1000-acre campus has a robust network of 5000 nodes on a fiber optic backbone and extends LAN connectivity to every hostel room. The institute had to provide its students the necessary technology skills to upgrade or share their knowledge. There was a need for a robust campus network that provided every student access to internal servers and the Internet. With consultancy from D-Link and Cisco the campus LAN of the institute now has strong router architecture, a three-tiered switching design, over 60 servers, and reliable backbone connectivity.
