Summary
University of Florida
education university research legacy
NERDCNET is the University of Florida's network in Gainesville, Florida — the
handle preserves the name of NERDC, the Northeast Regional Data Center, UF's
long-running central computing organisation.
What it's used for
- Campus, research, and administrative networking for the University of Florida and, historically, for other institutions NERDC served as a shared data center.
- Announces a large block of legacy IPv4, consistent with an early and generous university allocation.
Notable
- The regional data centers were a distinctive feature of Florida's public higher-education system: a handful of campuses ran shared mainframe and network services for the rest of the state, and the ASN names still carry those labels long after the organisations were reorganised.
- UF is a research-intensive university, so a share of this traffic is science data moving over national research networks rather than ordinary campus browsing.
