Summary
RAREST — Alsace Research and Higher Education Network
education research legacy
FR-RAREST is the Réseau Alsacien pour la Recherche, l'Enseignement Supérieur et le Transfert de technologie — the regional academic network for Alsace, operated around the University of Strasbourg's Osiris metropolitan network and feeding into France's national RENATER backbone.
What it's used for
- Campus and inter-site networking for universities, research labs, and higher-education institutions across the Strasbourg metropolitan area and wider Alsace.
Notable
- An institutional research-and-education network, not a commercial ISP. The low AS number reflects an early allocation to French academic networking.
Interesting
- The underlying Osiris metropolitan network in Strasbourg dates back to 1989 and interconnects well over a hundred buildings across the region's academic sites.
