AS39590 NDGF High energy physicists community in the nordics.
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
NORDUnet
research education nordic hpc
NDGF is operated by NORDUnet, the Nordic University Network.
What it's used for
- The address space carries high-performance computing and research infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
dcache10.hpc.ku.dk,pool14.hpc.uib.no, andgauda.ndgf.org. - The AS announces 960 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a dedicated research network rather than a commercial transit or access provider.
- Traffic consists of scientific data transfer, HPC cluster communications, and academic collaboration services within the Nordic region.
Notable
- Registrants for all announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing
NORDUnet NOCandNordic University NOC. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into specific functional blocks, including
NDGF-COREandNDGF-CENTERS, reflecting internal segmentation for different research centers.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 2 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
| AS | Network | Paths seen |
|---|---|---|
| AS2603 | NORDUnet | 80 |
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-15, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
