Summary

Nepal Research and Education Network

Nepal · AI-generated

education research nren nepal

NREN-AS-NP is operated by Nepal Research and Education Network.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries research and education traffic, evidenced by the netname NEPALREN-NP and registrant Nepal R&E Network on both announced IPv4 prefixes.
  • The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 15 IPv6 prefixes, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a dedicated access network for institutional endpoints rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of researchers, teachers, and students accessing the network via Eduroam and dedicated institutional links within Nepal.

Notable

  • Registrants for both IPv4 prefixes align with the announcer, listing Nepal REN Network Admin Role Account and Nepal R&E Network.
  • The inventory is split between two distinct IPv4 blocks: 183.91.132.0/22 and 202.52.0.0/23, alongside a large IPv6 allocation under 2404:2c00::/38.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
