In mainland China, there are 1,075 universities, 390,000 professors and staff members, 94,200 graduate students and 2,184,000 undergraduate students. The distribution of the universities and students corresponding to the eight regional networks is shown in Table 1.

More than 100 campus networks had been connected to CERNET in those two years, each of which will, on average, consist of more than 2,000 computers.
By now, about 450 campus networks have been connected.

As mentioned above, the CIDR technology will be used for the CERNET project, as shown in Table 2.

The top level universities and institutes in China are applying for IP addresses now, on average they have got or will get 8 - 32 class C address spaces. Since the IP address is a valuable resource at this moment, we have asked them to try to utilize IP space more efficiently. This may make them use more routers.

The rest universities and institutes will be connected to CERNET soon. Following that, more than 39,412 middle schools with 55,120,000 students and 160,000 primary schools with 122,000,000 pupils will also be linked to CERNET. Since China has the largest population, CERNET will be the largest education and research network in the world.

Due to the huge requirement of IP addresses for the CERNET project, the establishment process of IPNG may get boosted.
