AS9695 — KOEXP-AS-KR KISTI

AS9695 announces 2 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

AS9695 (KOEXP-AS-KR) is registered to KISTI, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information: the government-funded research institute in Daejeon that supplies national science and technology information services, supercomputing, and the KREONET research backbone.

What it's used for

This is a small, purpose-built research allocation rather than a general-purpose network. RIS sees just 4 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,280 addresses, no IPv6, and a single observed neighbour. One upstream and four prefixes is the profile of a network that exists to host a specific set of institutional services and reach the rest of the internet through its parent, not to provide connectivity to anyone else. All four prefixes sit inside 210.110.0.0/16, the block long associated with Korea's academic and research networking, and they span 210.110.199.0/24 through 210.110.203.0/24, which is what a single delegated slice out of a larger research allocation looks like. KISTI's much larger production research network is carried elsewhere, so this AS should be read as one of the institute's smaller specialised networks rather than as KREONET itself.

Notable

• KISTI operates under South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and runs national platforms including NTIS, the national R&D information service, alongside high-performance computing resources for Korean researchers.
• Its networking arm is best known for KREONET, the national research and education network, and for its role in international research-network exchange with peers in Asia, Europe and North America.
• Despite the small size, a network in this space is far more likely to be carrying research or institutional traffic than anything commercial.
