Summary
Illinois Century Network (ICN)
education research legacy
ILLINOIS-CENTURY is the Illinois Century Network, the State of Illinois'
statewide broadband network for public institutions, run by the Illinois
Department of Innovation & Technology.
What it's used for
- Internet and intranet connectivity for K-12 school districts, higher-education campuses, public libraries, and state and local government sites across Illinois.
- Backbone transport over the state's open-access institutional fiber network, serving thousands of connected locations.
Notable
- Statewide research-and-education networks like ICN sit between a commercial ISP and a campus network: the addresses belong to the state network, but the users behind them are schools, libraries, and agencies.
- ICN was established by Illinois legislation in the late 1990s; ARIN's record for this AS number dates from 2001, so the low number does not indicate an early-internet allocation.
Interesting
- ICN participates in the national research-and-education community and provides its members access to Internet2, which is why Illinois K-12 traffic can end up on research-network paths.
