About this network

The University of Tasmania (UTAS), Australia's island-state university, based in Hobart with campuses at Launceston and Burnie.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for the university: staff and student systems, faculty and departmental servers, and research infrastructure across its Tasmanian sites.
• Reverse DNS is thoroughly institutional — gateway and campus-LAN names under gw.utas.edu.au, IT services hosts under its.utas.edu.au, and departmental machines such as geology systems under geol.utas.edu.au.

Notable

• An IP here is institutional, not residential — university offices, labs, teaching spaces and servers. Treat it as an education network rather than an eyeball ISP, even though student residences may sit behind it.
• Part of the address space carries names under tpac.org.au, the Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing, the high-performance computing facility hosted by the university.

Interesting

• The university's upstream is Australia's national research and education network, AARNet (AS7575), which connects the country's universities to each other and internationally.
