About this network

GOENET is operated by GWDG (Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH, Goettingen).

What it's used for

• The address space carries university and research infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as GWDG-UNI-64-96, MPI-DO (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft), and GWDG-LI.
• With 74,240 IPv4 addresses and 19 IPv6 prefixes announced against only 4 observed neighbours, the network functions as an access and aggregation point for the Göttingen academic community rather than a transit provider.
• Traffic consists of research data, academic web services, and institutional endpoints for universities and Max Planck institutes in the region.

Notable

• Registrants consistently identify GWDG Hostmaster and the Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH, Goettingen, with the exception of the MPI-DO block registered to Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften e.V.
• The inventory is dominated by the 134.76.0.0/17 block, with additional space in 141.5.96.0/19 and smaller /24 allocations.
• Reverse DNS entries like xr-theo1-UBZA-Anthro.net.gwdg.de and mpie-goe.mpae.gwdg.de confirm the use of the space for specific research groups and Max Planck Institute facilities.
