AS8398 TVERSU Russia, Tver

TVERSU is the **Tver Regional Centre of Informatization at Tver State

University**, in the city of Tver north-west of Moscow. The registry places it at

the university's address on Zhelyabova street, and its addresses come out of

82.179.128.0/21.

What it's used for

• The university's own computing and the regional informatization centre it hosts: campus networks, faculty and student access, and the academic services a Russian regional university runs for itself.
• Historically, connecting the university and affiliated institutions in the Tver region to the wider Russian academic network.

Notable

• The AS is not currently visible in the global routing table. Its registered prefixes are not being announced, so there is nothing to geolocate or classify by traffic today. That is common for an old institutional AS that has since been folded behind a provider's routing.
• The address space stays registered to the university, which is why the AS still appears in registry-derived datasets even though it carries no live routes.

Interesting

• Regional Centres of Informatization were a Russian institutional pattern: a university hosting the computing and networking hub for its whole oblast, rather than each institution building its own. The AS is a survival of that arrangement.
