About this network

KENET-AS is operated by Kenya Education Network.

What it's used for

• The address space carries the infrastructure for Kenya's National Research and Education Network (NREN), supporting research and education institutions.
• With 335,616 IPv4 addresses and 58 IPv6 prefixes announced against 13 observed neighbours, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access or eyeball network role rather than a transit provider.

Notable

• The address inventory is finely subdivided into 248 IPv4 prefixes, including multiple /18 and /19 blocks, reflecting a structured internal corporate estate for site-by-site segmentation.
• KENET is a not-for-profit membership operator incorporated to support research and education institutions in Kenya.
