• to develop computer communications in the interests of Research & Education (R&E);
• to coordinate IP networking in Russia;• to promote research studies in the field of computer
communications;• to support R&E organizations in getting access to the
Internet information resources via public networks.
Russian Institute for Public Network
Russian Institute for Public Networks (RIPN) has been founded by Russian Ministry of Science, Russian Ministry of Education and Russian Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute". The aims declared were the following:
RBNet general information
• About 50 points of presence around Russia• Backbone services for R&E networks: regional,
corporate, specialized …• Two-level architecture• Protocols supported:
- IP- Frame relay- ATM- IP MPLS
• VPN services• Support of regional Internet Exchanges
