About this network

A Siberian research centre on one /22, reached through a single neighbour.

What it's used for

• The network of a federal research centre in Siberia. 1,024 addresses in one IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The whole inventory is 217.79.48.0/22, netname KRSC-SBRAS-Network.
• The registered name runs to fifteen words, beginning Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution and ending Siberian Branch Russian Academy Sciences.
• The AS handle compresses all of that to KRSC-AS ICM SB RAS.
• First observed in the routing archive in October 2002.
• Three addresses were sampled and none returned a name.

Interesting

• The gap between the registered name and the handle is the whole story of how institutions appear in technical records. One field holds the legal entity exactly as the state defines it; the other holds what the people who run the routers actually say. Four letters do the work of fifteen words.
• A national academy of sciences is a federation of institutes, each with its own computing centre, and this is one branch of one centre. The routing table sees the institute, not the academy, because the AS number is issued to whoever operates the network rather than to whoever owns it.
• One neighbour and 1,024 addresses is a research site connected through a single regional or academic upstream. It is the ordinary arrangement for institutional networks far from the places where networks meet.
