AS4387 Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnologia - Red Cientific

Registered to Argentina's national science-and-technology secretariat in Buenos

Aires, this ASN carries a scientific and academic network. The registry name reads

"Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnologia - Red Cientific", truncated from the Spanish

for "Scientific Network".

What it's used for

• Networking for Argentina's public science and technology system — research institutes, laboratories, and the agencies that coordinate them.
• Registry records place the holder on Godoy Cruz in Buenos Aires, at the site of the country's science and technology complex.

Notable

• Research and academic address space rather than commercial or consumer: IPs here are most likely institutional hosts belonging to publicly funded science organisations.
• The record is administered by LACNIC today and goes back to a 1995 registration, made when Latin America's number resources were still handled from the ARIN region — LACNIC itself did not exist until 2002.

Interesting

• Argentina's science portfolio has been reorganised between secretariat and ministry status more than once since this record was created, but the registry name has stayed as first written. It is a reminder to read a network's organisation record for what it is, not for what its name last claimed.
