About this network

TAMBOVMAN-AS is the network of Tambov State Technical University (TSTU), which has long acted as the academic network hub for the city of Tambov. The handle reads as "Tambov MAN", a metropolitan academic network.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity for the university and, historically, for other education and research organisations in the Tambov region that reached the internet through TSTU.

Notable

• The announced footprint is small (on the order of a couple of /24s), which is typical of a single-campus Russian university AS rather than a regional provider.
• Like most Russian academic networks of this vintage, it grew out of the 1990s push to connect regional universities and kept its own AS instead of being folded into a commercial ISP.
