About this network

The AS handle is the word OTHER, and the address space belongs to a university.

What it's used for

• A Turkish network carrying university address space. 2,304 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle is OTHER; the registered holder is Eser Telekom Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.
• 195.49.216.0/21 is registered as YEDITEPE-NET-TR to Yeditepe University.
• 193.255.44.0/24 carries the netname YU-NET.
• First observed in the routing archive in April 2001.
• Six sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.

Interesting

• OTHER is what a form says when nobody filled it in. Somewhere in the process of registering this autonomous system, a category field with an "other" option ended up in the name field, and it has been the network's public label ever since. Routing tools, looking-glass pages and whois clients all print it, because none of them have anything better to print.
• Both blocks are registered to a university while a telecommunications company holds the AS. That is the ordinary arrangement where a campus buys connectivity and its provider announces the space: the addresses stay with the institution, the routing belongs to the carrier.
• One neighbour means a single path to the rest of the internet. For a university network that is a real constraint — everything the campus reaches depends on one adjacent operator, and the AS number exists mainly so the address space has an origin of its own.
