Summary
GARR (Consortium GARR)
research education nren
GARR is Italy's National Research and Education Network (NREN) — the high-speed backbone connecting the country's universities, research institutes, libraries, and cultural institutions.
What it's used for
- Interconnecting Italian academic and research sites and linking them to the pan-European research network GÉANT and the global R&E community.
- Carrying data-intensive science traffic (physics, genomics, supercomputing) that would swamp a commercial consumer ISP.
Notable
- Like Internet2 (US), JANET (UK), or DFN (Germany), GARR is a non-commercial network funded to serve education and research, not the general public.
- Operates its own dark-fibre footprint across Italy.
Interesting
- NRENs such as GARR were among the earliest high-bandwidth networks and often pilot next-generation networking years before commercial ISPs adopt it.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 442 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.
