AS7622 ASN-KAIST-SAL Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology

ASN-KAIST-SAL belongs to the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea's flagship national research university, based in the Daedeok Innopolis science park in Daejeon.

What it's used for

• A single large allocation, 110.76.64.0/18, held by KAIST as portable space. The registry's technical contact is the campus itself, at Daehak-ro in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon.
• Campus and laboratory connectivity: students, staff, departments and research groups. Addresses in the block geolocate to Daejeon and resolve to the kaist.edu domain where reverse DNS is published at all.

Notable

• Institutional address space. Traffic from it is far more likely to be a lab machine, a research testbed or a student on campus than a home broadband user, and there are no subscriber-style pools anywhere in the range.
• Reverse DNS coverage is thin, which is common for Korean research networks. The allocation record, not the rDNS, is the load-bearing evidence here.

Interesting

• The SAL in the handle is not expanded anywhere in the registry, and no authoritative source explains it, so this card does not guess at it. KAIST is a large enough institution that it appears under more than one ASN; AS7622 is one piece of its routing, not the whole university.
