Summary
Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)
government research legacy
The eastern network (ESNET-EAST) of ESnet, the US Department of Energy's
Energy Sciences Network, a high-performance network for scientific research.
What it's used for
- Connecting DOE national laboratories and research facilities with very high-bandwidth links for large-scale science.
Notable
- A US government / research network, not a commercial ISP. The low AS number reflects an early-internet allocation. See also [AS292](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS292), ESnet's western counterpart.
