About this network

ASAUTHNET / AUTH-NET-AS — the campus network of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), the largest university in Greece.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity for AUTH's schools and faculties, research groups, libraries, computer centres and student services.

Notable

• A big institutional network: AUTH holds far more address space than most single organisations, which is the mark of a university that received its allocation when addresses were handed out generously and every machine on campus expected a public IP.
• The university's connectivity to the wider internet runs through GRNET, the Greek national research and education network, as is standard for Greek institutions.

Interesting

• The scale here is the story. One campus in northern Greece is carrying an address block on the order of a mid-sized ISP's, purely because it was early.
