AS6595 DODDSEUR

The network of the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), the DoD

component that runs schools for the children of military and civilian personnel.

The handle DODDSEUR is a fossil of the organisation's former name, DoD Dependents

Schools, Europe.

What it's used for

• School and administrative networking for DoDEA, which operates K-12 schools on and near military installations in the United States, Europe, and the Pacific.
• The AS announces a /16 and a /18 out of 204.218.0.0 and 204.219.0.0 space, sized for a distributed school system rather than a single campus.

Notable

• This is government address space that behaves like education space. The registrant is a Department of Defense component, but the addresses front classrooms and school district administration, not operational military systems.
• The registered address is DoDEA's Peachtree City, Georgia office, which handles its Americas region, rather than the Europe office the handle names.

Interesting

• The EUR in the handle outlived the organisation it referred to. DoD Dependents Schools Europe was one predecessor of today's DoDEA, and the ASN kept the old label through the reorganisation.
