The Lanka Education And Research Network (LEARN) is the NREN (National Research and Education Network) of Sri Lanka. LEARN interconnects 24 sites with link speeds ranging from 128kbps to multiple 2Mbps links. The establishment of 2Mbps links to 8 sites with the financial support of Sida/SAREC has been a major milestone in this path. LEARN is currently in the process of upgrading the link bandwidths to 16 of its sites to 10Mbps over optical fiber. Several links have already been upgraded, and the remaining links will be upgraded by June 2007. This upgrade was made possible with the World Bank funded IRQUE Project providing funds for 10 of the 16 links.
