Summary
Rice University (Southeast Texas GigaPoP)
education research university legacy
AS4557 (SOUTHEAST-TEXAS-GIGAPOP) is registered to Rice University in Houston and carries the Southeast Texas GigaPoP (SETG), the regional aggregation point that connects research and education institutions across southeastern Texas to national research networks.
What it's used for
Regional research-and-education transit. SETG aggregates member universities, medical institutions and other R&E organisations in the Houston region and hands their traffic off to national and commercial upstreams, alongside Rice's own campus networks.
Notable
- Address space here is institutional, not consumer: campus networks, labs, data centres and the interconnect fabric between member institutions.
- The AS peers widely for a university network, which is typical of a GigaPoP: it exists to be an exchange and aggregation point rather than a single campus edge.
- ARIN records the number to Rice in April 1995, consistent with a mid-1990s allocation from the era when university networks were taking their own AS numbers.
