education university research legacy

HKU-AS-HK — The University of Hong Kong, the oldest university in Hong Kong

and one of the region's principal research institutions.

What it's used for

  • Campus networking for students, staff, faculties, and research computing, including HKU's connections to Hong Kong research and academic exchanges.
  • Announces the legacy 147.8.0.0/16 plus a set of APNIC-era blocks, roughly 84,000 IPv4 addresses in total.

Notable

  • Institutional address space: it serves the university's own community rather than paying subscribers.
  • The legacy /16 is the tell of an early academic connection — HKU was among the first networks in Hong Kong to join the global internet.
