AS10044 announces 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,792 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

RDA-AS-KR belongs to the Rural Development Administration, the South Korean government agency for agricultural research and extension. Headquartered in Jeonju and reporting under the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, RDA runs the national crop, livestock, horticulture and agri-science research institutes and the extension service that pushes their findings out to farmers.

What it's used for

• The agency's public services and research systems: agricultural databases, crop and pest advisories, soil and variety information portals, and the internal network linking its research institutes and regional extension offices.

Notable

• This is a government / public-research network, not a commercial agribusiness. RDA is a statutory central-government administration, and the routing matches a single institution rather than a provider: RIS observes 7 IPv4 prefixes carrying 1,792 addresses, behind just 1 observed neighbour.
• The single upstream is the more informative half of that. Korean public research bodies generally connect through a national research network rather than buying diverse commercial transit, and a single-homed AS with a couple of thousand addresses is the signature of an end-site institution that holds a number for addressing independence, not for traffic engineering. Nothing here is announced on a third party's behalf.
• All seven prefixes are /24s drawn from one narrow run, 203.241.54.0 to 203.241.70.0 — a single historical allocation, deaggregated for internal use across sites.

Interesting

• A good example of why a holder's subject matter says nothing about its kind. Agriculture is what RDA studies; a government agency is what it is.
