About this network

RACTI-NET is the network of the Computer Technology Institute and Press "Diophantus" (CTI), a Greek research institute based on the University of Patras campus in Rio, near Patras.

What it's used for

• Research and administrative networking for CTI, whose registered address and network operations centre are both on the University of Patras campus.
• Reverse DNS across the announced space resolves under cti.gr, including firewall and server hosts, so the addresses are used by the institute itself rather than resold.

What CTI does

• CTI is a public research and technology organisation supervised by the Greek Ministry of Education, working in informatics, ICT in education, and educational publishing.
• It is the technology arm behind Greece's school network and educational digital infrastructure, alongside its own computer science research.

Notable

• The address space is a single legacy 150.140.0.0/17, registered as CTINet. The registry record describes CTInet as the core of PATRASnet, providing that network's gateways to national and international connectivity, so this ASN is the gateway AS for academic networking in the Patras area rather than a purely internal institute LAN.
• The AS handle still carries the older "RACTI" name (Research Academic Computer Technology Institute), a fossil of the institute's previous branding, while the organisation record uses the current "Diophantus" name.
