About this network

TENET-2 belongs to TENET, the Tertiary Education and Research Network of South Africa, registered under the historical "UNINET Project" organisation name. TENET is South Africa's national research and education network.

What it's used for

• Research and education connectivity for South African universities, science councils and affiliated institutions.
• This particular ASN carries a small footprint (about a /24 of IPv4); TENET's bulk transit and campus aggregation ride its larger, better-known autonomous systems.

Notable

• An NREN, not a commercial ISP. Its address space serves member institutions under an acceptable-use policy rather than paying retail subscribers.
• The ASN sits in AFRINIC's registry today via an ERX-style transfer, which is why ARIN lookups on the number point at an AFRINIC block rather than a US holder.

Interesting

• The UNINET name preserves the earlier South African academic networking project that TENET grew out of, so the registration itself is a piece of the country's networking history.
