Summary
National Science Foundation (NSF)
government research legacy
The headquarters network (NSF-HQ-AS) of the US National Science Foundation,
the federal agency that funds science and engineering research.
What it's used for
- Operations and administrative networking for the National Science Foundation.
Notable
- A US government / research-agency network, not a commercial ISP or host. The low AS number marks it as an early-internet allocation.
Interesting
- The NSF funded and shaped NSFNET, the backbone that connected US research networks in the late 1980s and helped grow the early internet.
