Summary
BREN (Bulgarian Research and Education Network)
education research nren legacy
UNICOM-B-AS — the **Bulgarian Research and Education Network Association
(BREN)**, Bulgaria's national research and education network (NREN). The RIPE
object describes it simply as "NREN - Bulgaria".
What it's used for
- National backbone connectivity for Bulgarian universities, research institutes and academic institutions, and their onward connection to the pan-European research network.
- It announces around 57 IPv4 prefixes, overwhelmingly drawn from the legacy
194.141.0.0/16Bulgarian academic block, plus IPv6.
Notable
- Institutional, not commercial: the prefixes are member institutions' campuses. BREN provides transit to its members but is not a general ISP.
- The
UNICOM-Bhandle is the network's original name from the early Bulgarian academic networking era and has never been changed.
Interesting
- BREN also supports BGP communities for its transit customers, which is a hint that Bulgarian academic institutions multihome through it much as commercial customers would through a carrier.
