About this network

MANDA — man-da.de GmbH, the operating company for MANDA, the Metropolitan Area Network Darmstadt. It is owned in equal parts by TU Darmstadt and Hochschule Darmstadt and serves the scientific community of Darmstadt and southern Hesse.

What it's used for

• Regional research and education networking. The AS originates the university blocks directly: 130.83.0.0/16 is TU Darmstadt (rDNS such as HOST.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de) and 141.100.0.0/16 is Hochschule Darmstadt; 82.195.64.0/19 carries further Hessian institutions.

Notable

• An NREN-adjacent regional network, not a commercial carrier despite the "GmbH" — the shareholders are the two universities it serves.
• The very large neighbour count comes from man-da.de peering openly at Frankfurt's exchanges, which sits it in the middle of one of the densest interconnection markets in the world for a network of its size.

Interesting

• The 130.83.0.0/16 block is a legacy Class B held by TU Darmstadt from the early days of German academic networking; MANDA announces it on the university's behalf.
