Summary
University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)
education university research legacy
UIC-AS is the campus network of the University of Illinois Chicago, a large
public research university and the state's largest university in the Chicago
area. Registered to UIC's technology organisation on West Taylor Street.
What it's used for
- Campus, research, medical-centre and administrative networking for UIC, including its health-sciences colleges and hospital.
- Announces two full legacy
/16s —128.248.0.0/16and131.193.0.0/16— giving it roughly 131,000 IPv4 addresses, plus IPv6.
Notable
- Two Class-B-era
/16s is a distinctly institutional footprint: universities that connected early were routinely given whole /16s, and many still hold them. A modern network of UIC's size would never be issued that much space today. - UIC is also a research network participant, so a share of the space carries research and high-performance-computing traffic rather than ordinary campus users.
Interesting
- Chicago has a dense cluster of low-numbered academic ASNs; UIC's sits close to other mid-1990s university registrations in the same range.
