L-Root server established in Rajasthan

Why In News?

Recently, as an initiative to promote e-governance by the State Government, L-Route Server has been installed at Bhamashah State Data Center.

Key Points

• This server has been installed by the state government in association with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
• With this ICANN root server, Rajasthan is no longer dependent on any root server for the domain name system.
• After this arrangement, now if there is a problem in internet connectivity due to any technical glitch or natural calamity in the whole of Asia or India, it will continue to run without any interruption in Rajasthan. Along with this, high speed internet connectivity will also be ensured.
• Significantly, Rajasthan has become the first state in the country to set up an L-Root server.
