Summary
Kentucky Educational Computing Network (KECNet)
education legacy
KECNet (KEC-NET), the Kentucky Educational Computing Network, administered
through the University of Louisville's communications services group.
What it's used for
- Networking for Kentucky educational institutions — campus, instructional, and administrative traffic rather than commercial service.
Notable
- A state-level education network: the address space belongs to schools and institutional users, not to residential subscribers.
- Registered with ARIN in 1994, from the era when state and regional academic networks were being stitched into the internet.
Interesting
- Networks like KECNet were the on-ramp for many US institutions in the early 1990s, when a university consortium — rather than a commercial ISP — was the usual way a school got connected.
