Abstract
Advancements in telecommunication services and networking, have remarkably improved information communication services. The growing need of proper and secure communication is based on using appropriate communication technologies to work effectively and efficiently to meet the objectives of the information users. For some time this has been a great problem. For example, if one element e.g. a cable is supporting high bandwidth but a router limits it. In this paper supportive elements in information communication to enhance the communication performance are discussed. The technologies discussed here are: LAN/WAN, wireless, cabling Ethernet & ATM, iSCSI, IPv6 and outsourcing. These elements have been analysed, keeping in view how safely, efficiently, timely and exchangeable interfaces can be maintained for the sake of e-learners. These issues have been raised in the Indian context.
