About this network

The network of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá (UTP), Panama's public technological university.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for UTP's faculties and regional centres: teaching, research, and administration.
• Hosting NIC Panamá, the registry UTP has operated since 1994 for Panama's .pa country-code top-level domain, including the .pa zone's DNS and WHOIS.

Notable

• Academic address space (roughly 62,000 IPv4 addresses) — a notably large institutional allocation for a single university, reflecting UTP's early and central role in Panamanian internet infrastructure.
• Institutional users (students, staff, researchers) rather than subscribers.

Interesting

• A university running its country's ccTLD is a hallmark of the early internet: in many countries the first organisation with a working IP link inherited the national domain registry, and often still holds it.
