AS3479 PEACHNET-AS3479

PEACHNET-AS3479 belongs to the Board of Regents of the University System of

Georgia and serves PeachNet, the statewide network connecting Georgia's public

colleges and universities.

What it's used for

• Backbone and internet connectivity for all University System of Georgia institutions — campus networks, research traffic, and the shared enterprise applications the system runs centrally.
• One of two adjacent ASNs PeachNet holds, alongside [AS3480](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS3480).

Notable

• An institutional education network rather than a commercial ISP. The very large IPv4 footprint (over a million addresses) reflects decades of university address allocations pooled under one state system, not a subscriber base.
• PeachNet operates on leased and owned fiber rather than buying commercial telecom services outright, which is how a state system of this size affords the bandwidth and redundancy it needs.

Interesting

• PeachNet underpins the University System's shared platforms — the statewide virtual library, the system-wide student, learning-management, and HR applications — so the network is a dependency for far more than raw campus internet access.
