About this network
AS9969 (NUCH-AS-KR) is held by the Korea National University of Cultural Heritage, a small national university in Buyeo, South Chungcheong Province, which now also presents itself in English as the Korea National University of Heritage. It is a specialist institution: heritage conservation, traditional arts and crafts, archaeology and cultural-property administration.
What it's used for
This is a genuinely tiny campus network. RIS sees 2 announced IPv4 prefixes — 220.68.62.0/24 and 220.68.63.0/24, an adjacent pair — for 512 addresses total, no IPv6, and 2 observed BGP neighbours.
Two contiguous /24s announced separately rather than as a single /23 is a small operational detail, but the shape overall is unmistakable: a single site with a modest, contiguous allocation and a couple of upstreams. There is no customer cone, no peering, and no address volume — nothing that could support hosting or eyeball service. The space carries campus systems: the university's web presence, mail, library and administrative services, plus student and staff access on site.
The neighbour count is worth reading against the address count. Two peers on 512 addresses is a network that exists solely to be reachable, and the reason to hold an ASN at all at this scale is provider independence — the university keeps its addresses if it changes upstream.
Notable
- The 220.68/16 range is adjacent to blocks used by other Korean university networks in this ASN range, consistent with allocation through Korea's academic addressing.
- The university is one of Korea's smallest national institutions by enrolment, which matches the network footprint exactly.
- No IPv6 is announced.
