AS4758 NICNET-VSNL-BOARDER-AP National Informatics Centre

NICNET-VSNL-BOARDER-AP belongs to the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the

Government of India's central IT organisation, which builds and runs NICNET — the

network connecting India's ministries, departments, states, and districts.

What it's used for

• Government networking and e-governance services: NIC hosts and operates a large share of central and state government systems, portals, and data centres.
• Connectivity for government offices down to the district level over NICNET.

Notable

• This is public-sector address space. Traffic here is government services rather than consumer access or commercial hosting.
• The VSNL in the handle records the historic border/transit arrangement with VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited), India's former international carrier and now part of Tata Communications; the handle outlived that arrangement.
