AS10227 SUANDUSIT Institute Rajabhat Suandusit

SUANDUSIT belongs to Suan Dusit University in Bangkok, registered under its older name

Institute Rajabhat Suandusit. The institution traces back to a 1934 Home Science School,

became Suan Dusit Rajabhat University in 1999 and gained full university status in 2004.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for a Thai public university: student and staff access, the library and administrative systems, and the public-facing web presence of a school known for culinary arts, early-childhood education, hospitality and nursing, with satellite campuses in Hua Hin, Lampang and Suphan Buri.
• RIS sees 2 IPv4 prefixes — 202.29.82.0/23 with a more-specific 202.29.83.0/24 carved out of it — for 512 addresses, no IPv6, and 1 observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Education, and the address block is the corroborating evidence, not just the name. The spec warning that University in a legal name proves nothing is fair, but 202.29.0.0/16 is the range historically delegated to Thai academic institutions through the country's research-and-education networking, and a /23 out of it behind a single upstream is the textbook shape of a campus that connects to the national education network and nothing else.
• The single neighbour matters. A university with a commercial hosting sideline, or one acting as a regional aggregator for smaller schools, would show downstream ASes. This one is a leaf: it consumes connectivity and resells none.

Interesting

• Announcing both the /23 and a /24 inside it is a small piece of traffic engineering, and on a network this size it usually means one half of the block (a data-centre or DMZ segment) needs to be steered separately from the campus at large.
