Cisco has signed a deal to supply the China Education and Research Network (CERNET) with CRS-1 Carrier Routing System 
hardware for its upgrade of the world's largest educational network.

CERNET serves some 20 million users at more that 1000 universities and research facilities in China and is also part of 
the country's Internet backbone. The network will deploy the Cisco CRS-1 in its core network nodes in Beijing, 
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Nanjing as part of a general upgrade of the national backbone network. With the upgrade, 
CERNET expects to improve overall network performance and provide support for resource-hungry advanced applications.
