Summary
ICI Bucharest (National Institute for R&D in Informatics)
education research legacy
ICI-ROTLD belongs to the National Institute for Research and Development in
Informatics (ICI) in Bucharest, Romania — a state research institute that also
operates the RoTLD registry for the .ro top-level domain.
What it's used for
- Research and academic networking for the institute and the Romanian national R&D network it has long carried.
- Registry operations for
.ro, including the RoTLD systems and the DNS infrastructure behind the Romanian national domain.
Notable
- Institutional address space: roughly 105,000 IPv4 addresses serving a research institute and national infrastructure, not commercial subscribers.
- Combining an NREN role with running a country-code TLD registry in one ASN is unusual — most countries split those functions across separate organisations.
Interesting
- ICI was the organisation that brought Romania onto the internet, which is why a single institute's ASN sits this low and carries the national domain registry alongside it.
