About this network

A university network whose routers are named after its faculties, reached through a single upstream.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for a Romanian university. 6,400 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 194.176.164.0/22 is netname UAIC-20000509, registered to the Digital Communications Department at UAIC.
• 193.226.24.0/23 belongs to a different holder: Institutul National de Cercetare-Dezvoltare in informatica, the national informatics research institute in Bucharest.
• That block carries the netname RO-RNC-193-226-0-127.
• One sampled address answered as gw-filosofie-c.uaic.ro, another as c1-1-cab.nat.uaic.ro.
• The RDAP record for 193.231.30.0/23 could not be retrieved.
• First observed in the routing archive in December 2003, later than most entries here.

Interesting

• gw-filosofie is a gateway router for the faculty of philosophy. Universities are among the few organisations whose internal structure is stable enough to name network equipment after, because a philosophy faculty outlives any given switch. The organisational chart ends up published in reverse DNS, one building at a time.
• The netname RO-RNC-193-226-0-127 writes an address range into the name itself, marking out 193.226.0 through 193.226.127 as one administrative unit. Names like that come from an era when the range was the record, before the registry had a field for it.
• A single observed neighbour for an entire university is the signature of a national research network: one upstream that aggregates every campus in the country, rather than commercial transit bought per institution.
