Summary
Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN)
education research nren
SingAREN is Singapore's National Research and Education Network (NREN) — the non-commercial backbone connecting the country's universities and research institutions to each other and to the global R&E community.
What it's used for
- Interconnecting Singapore's academic and research sites (universities, A*STAR research institutes, and other members) and linking them internationally.
- Carrying high-bandwidth science and collaboration traffic to regional and global research networks rather than serving the general public.
Notable
- Like other NRENs (Internet2, GÉANT, JANET), SingAREN is funded to serve education and research, not consumers — addresses here are institutional R&E infrastructure, classified
education.
Interesting
- SingAREN operates international links (including Open Exchange points) that make Singapore a research-networking hub for the Asia-Pacific region.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
