Summary
Kyoto University Microcomputer Club (KMC)
education research
The Kyoto University Microcomputer Club (KMC), a student computer club at Kyoto
University that runs its own non-profit autonomous system to learn hands-on IP
networking and BGP.
What it's used for
- Educational and research networking operated by club members: a small production AS for hosting club services and experimenting with routing.
Notable
- An IP here is institutional/educational — a university student circle's network, not commercial hosting, even though it announces its own prefixes and peers like a small operator.
Interesting
- KMC operates the AS explicitly to give students real experience running BGP and peering, and participates in community peering projects.
