About this network

IECAS is the Israel Electric Corporation Limited, the state-owned utility that generates and transmits the great majority of Israel's electricity. It is headquartered in Haifa.

What it's used for

• The utility's own corporate and operational network: internal systems, staff connectivity, and the company's public-facing services. This is an enterprise network run for a single organization, not a service sold to customers.

Notable

• IEC is critical national infrastructure, and an autonomous system belonging to a national power utility is best understood as a corporate network with an unusually high security profile rather than as a commercial internet operation.
• The announced space is modest, consistent with a large enterprise rather than a provider, and the blocks are drawn from a single contiguous legacy range.

Interesting

• Utilities of this vintage often ended up with early address space because they were among the first large industrial organizations in their countries to build wide-area data networks for operational control.
