About this network

DUTHNET-AS is the campus network of the Democritus University of Thrace (Δημοκρίτειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θράκης), a Greek public university with faculties spread across Komotini, Xanthi, Alexandroupoli and Orestiada.

What it's used for

• Roughly 10,500 addresses across three prefixes, plus an IPv6 /48 from the Greek research network's 2001:648::/32.
• Reverse DNS is entirely on duth.gr and reads as a campus: wifi-kimmeria.duth.gr (the Kimmeria campus in Xanthi), backbone.xan.rescom.duth.gr (student residences), apolitis.noc.duth.gr and r-mgmt.dragana.duth.gr (the Dragana campus in Alexandroupoli).
• Campus Wi-Fi, lab and office machines, university servers, and student halls of residence.

Notable

• Institutional space, not consumer space. Addresses here belong to university sites; the student-residence blocks are the closest thing to eyeball traffic and are still university-run.
• The AS is single-homed to the Greek NREN, the usual shape for a university that takes its transit from the national research network rather than from a commercial ISP.
