About this network

The Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB, Οικονομικό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών), Greece's oldest business and economics university, founded 1920. The AS carries the university's campus network.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity for AUEB's schools, labs and offices. Roughly 4,000 IPv4 addresses across three prefixes with a single BGP neighbour — a stub campus hanging off the Greek research network.
• rDNS resolves entirely under aueb.gr, and the subdomains map neatly onto the institution: central.aueb.gr for core services (zeus.central.aueb.gr), cs.aueb.gr for computer-science lab machines, decision.aueb.gr and eltrun.aueb.gr for departmental and research-lab hosts, and offices.aueb.gr for administrative desks.

Notable

• Institutional address space, not consumer space. Even the dynamic-looking hosts are named as managed campus pools (pc20.dhcp19-62.central.aueb.gr) — university DHCP ranges for lab and office machines, not residential broadband.
• Part of the small cluster of Greek university ASNs in this range alongside AS8617 (University of the Aegean) and AS8618 (Ionian University), all connected through Greece's national research and technology network.

Interesting

• ELTRUN, the university's e-business research centre, has its own rDNS zone in the space — a reminder that on campus networks, individual research groups are often visible in the naming long after their web presence has moved elsewhere.
