About this network

One of a block of autonomous system numbers (NYSERNET-BLK) held by NYSERNet, the New York State research and education network.

What it's used for

• Announcing small pieces of NYSERNet's 199.109.0.0 address space, plus IPv6.
• NYSERNet provides connectivity and shared services to New York's universities, colleges, research institutions, libraries, and school districts.

Notable

• Institutional research-and-education space, not eyeball or hosting space.
• Sits directly beside AS3629, another NYSERNet number from the same registered block. Regional research networks commonly hold several ASNs and hand them out to member sites or use them for distinct routing roles.

Interesting

• NYSERNet traces back to the NSFNET regional network era, when state and regional networks were the connective tissue of the early internet — which is why its numbers sit this low.
