About this network

KAERINET-AS-KR is the network of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea's national nuclear research laboratory. KAERI sits in the Daedeok research complex in Yuseong, Daejeon, and the AS announces a full legacy /16, 147.43.0.0/16, registered directly to the institute.

What it's used for

• The institute's own research and administrative computing: reactor and materials research, nuclear-safety and radiation work, and the laboratory's staff and campus networks.
• Research collaboration traffic, which for a Korean national institute in Daedeok runs over the national research networks.

Notable

• A national laboratory, so this is government research infrastructure rather than a commercial network. There is no subscriber space and nothing is sold as access or hosting.
• A whole /16 for a single research institute is a mark of an early allocation. 147.43.0.0/16 is old class-B space, and the institute also holds a 192.104.15.0/24 from the same era, the kind of pair that scientific sites picked up in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
• Reverse DNS is not published across the space, which is typical both of Korean networks and of security-conscious research sites.

Interesting

• KAERI is the institute behind Korea's indigenous reactor designs and it operates the HANARO research reactor, so the network sits behind genuinely sensitive scientific and regulatory work.
