Daknet is an ad hoc wireless network that provides digital connectivity in rural areas using a store-and-forward architecture. Mobile access points carried on vehicles periodically connect to kiosks in villages to exchange data. When vehicles pass near hubs with internet access, all collected data is synchronized. This allows for a low-cost solution to provide basic communication services to remote areas without traditional infrastructure.

Daknet uses an Ad-Hoc Network that uses wireless network technology to provide asynchronous digital connectivity. It was developed by MIT Media Lab Researchers. History of Daknet
Originally coined in the 1970s to designate networks
which were isolated from ARPANET (which evolved into the Internet) for security purposes, darknet were able to receive data from ARPANET but had addresses which did not appear in the network lists and would not answer pings or other inquiries. Why Daknet? Provide non real-time infrastructures and applications such as voice mail, e-mail, and electronic bulletin boards. Provide store- and forward or asynchronous modes of communication that is significantly lower in cost and do not necessarily sacrifice the functionality required to deliver services. Simpler to add in a device to the system. Low maintenance cost. Ad-Hoc Network
An ad-hoc wireless network is a collection of wireless
mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized control. Design Principles Lower costs by sharing Store and forward self-describing data Separate locationing and addressing Use all links, opportunistically, if necessary Separate data and control plane Proxies for legacy support Replication for reliability Daknet Network Architecture There are only three parts of a Daknet Architecture :
• Mobile access point.
• Hub. • Kiosk. Mobile Access Point Daknet travels data over short point to point links between kiosks and portable storage devices called mobile access points. Mobile Access Point is mounted on and powered by a bus or motorcycle, or even a bicycle with a small generator. MAPs are installed on vehicles that normally pass by each village to provide store-and-forward connectivity. MAP Equipment MAP Equipments used on the bus are : A custom embedded PC running Linux with 802.11b wireless card and 512 Mbytes of compact flash memory. A 100-mW amplifier, cabling, mounting equipment, and an Omni directional antenna. An uninterruptible power supply powered by the bus battery. Hub It is a common connection point for devices in a network. It is used to connect segments of a LAN. It contains multiple ports. Packet at one port copied to all other ports-all segments see all packets. When the vehicle passes near an internet access point the hub it synchronizes all the data from different kiosks using the internet. Kiosk
It is a booth providing a computer related service such as
ATM. In each village there is kiosk. It enable user to enter and display information on the same device. Either directional or Omni directional antennas are located at each of the kiosks or hubs. Wi-Fi Cards In Daknet a wireless card i.e. Wifi card is mounted on a vehicle that travels around to remote villages and exchanges updated information with each kiosk it encounters through WiFi. Advantages of using WiFi cards
Increase mobility. Cost for setting up a network is much less than running wires. WiFi has a global set of standards. support encryption in order to protect the data that is being transmitted. How Daknet Works Continue….. 1. The MAP devices are mounted on specific transports that regularly pass through a series of villages. 2. As the vehicle carrying the MAP comes within range of each village they automatically sense a wireless connection with a kiosk and deliver and collect data at relatively high bandwidth. 3. Whenever a MAP comes within range of another kiosk or a hub, data is automatically uploaded to and downloaded from the internet. 4. These steps are repeated for all the vehicles carrying MAP, thus providing a low cost wireless network and seamless communication infrastructure . Uses of Daknet To better protect the privacy rights of citizens from targeted and mass surveillance. Protecting dissidents from political reprisal. Whistle blowing and news leaks. Computer crime (hacking, file corruption etc.) Sale of restricted goods on darknet markets. File sharing (warez, personal files, pornography, confidential files, illegal or counterfeit software etc.) Advantages of Daknet Daknet allows for low cost and low power radio devices to be used. The use of short distance radio links also ensures high data rated. Does not have the interference problem. Security problem is not there. Maintenance cost associated with long distance wireless links. Dis-Advantages of Daknet
Separate locating and addressing.
Separate data and control plane. Proxies for Legacy support. Features of Daknet Since it avoids using phone lines or expensive equipment, Daknet provides one of the lowest-cost accessibility solutions in the world. The same hardware, software and user interface can be used to enjoy real-time information access. It has the ability to provide a seamless method of upgrading to always -on broadband connectivity. Daknet in Action Daknet is currently in action in many places. They are 1. Boomi Initiative in Karnataka. 2. SARI(Sustainable access for Rural India) project of Tamil Nadu. 3. Ratnakiri project in Cambodia. Conclusion
We have discussed all the benefits of DAKNET and it
is evidently helpful in developing countries like “INDIA” by providing Technology to everyone. The current focus is on further lowering the cost of the required equipment. References
