Summary
Boğaziçi University
education university research legacy
Boğaziçi University (ASBOUN) — one of Turkey's leading public research
universities, on the European shore of the Bosphorus in Istanbul.
What it's used for
- Campus networking: faculty and student systems, labs, libraries and university services. Sampled addresses resolve under
cc.boun.edu.tr, the university's computer centre domain. - Roughly 10,000 IPv4 addresses, most of it the classic
193.140.192.0/19-area academic assignment that Turkish universities were numbered from.
Notable
- Institutional address space: users here are students, staff and researchers on a campus network, not broadband subscribers. It should not be geolocated as consumer ISP space.
- The AS has very few BGP neighbours because Turkish universities reach the internet through the national research network rather than buying commercial transit directly.
Interesting
- Boğaziçi traces back to Robert College, founded in 1863, and its computer centre was one of the early nodes of Turkish academic networking — which is consistent with an AS number in this low, mid-1990s range.
