INTRODUCTION

• National Internet Backbone-I (NIB-I) is a TCP/IP
  based network consisting of about 432 nodes
  covering most of the district headquarters.
• BSNL plans to make further investment in this IP
  infrastructure to provide a range of new value
  added services to a broader customer base through
  NIB-II project.

EXISTING NIB INFRASTRUCTURE

• BSNL network comprises of a three-tier
  architecture with 14 A-level nodes, 31 B-level
  nodes and the rest C-level nodes
• Among the 14 A-nodes, six of them are
  interconnected in near full mesh with link
  bandwidth of 34 Mbps. These are referred to as
  A-1 cities. The remaining A-type cities are
  referred to as A-2 nodes and are dual homed to
  the A-1 nodes with link bandwidths of 34 Mbps.
• The 31 B-level cities are connected to the 14
  A-level nodes in a hierarchical manner so as to
  form 14 distinct OSPF areas with link bandwidths
  of 4 Mbps. The C-nodes are connected to the
  B-nodes with link bandwidths of 2 Mbps

• The Core messaging system shall be the heart of
  NIB-II that will enable BSNL to add users across
  varied value added services. The salient aspects
  of the projects are summarized as follows
• Setting up proven, robust, scalable Messaging
  Solution with best in class security components.
• (ii) Designed with High Availability architecture
  with no single point of failure
