About this network

The netname is the university's entire name in hyphens, and the AS handle is its street address.

What it's used for

• A medical and pharmaceutical university's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Romania, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Both blocks carry the same netname, which spells the institution out word for word with hyphens between them, ending in the city. It is one of the longest netnames in this range.
• The AS handle is the short form of that name followed by the city again, a square and a house number, so the field that identifies a routing entity is carrying postal directions.
• The holder field adds a scholar's name in quotation marks, the honorific part of the university's official title, which neither of the other fields keeps.
• The registrant on both blocks is the abuse role of the national institute that acts as the local registry. The university itself is not listed as a contact anywhere.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Universities in countries with a central research network often hold their addresses through it rather than directly. The registry field names the operator who signs the paperwork, which is why an abuse role at a national institute appears where a campus hostmaster would be expected.
• Two blocks and two upstreams for a whole medical school is a reminder that campus networks mostly face inward. The teaching hospital's systems never need to be reachable from outside.
