Summary
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
education university research legacy
HKPOLYU-HK is the campus network of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
(PolyU), one of Hong Kong's publicly funded research universities, based in Hung
Hom.
What it's used for
- Campus and research connectivity: faculty and student access, university services, and research computing across PolyU's campus.
Notable
- An institutional network rather than a commercial one. The address space serves the university itself, so traffic from it reads as academic rather than residential.
- The allocation is large for the number of people on campus, a hallmark of early academic address assignments made before addresses were scarce.
