Summary
Bilkent University
education university research legacy
İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University (BILKENT) is a private research university
in Ankara, Turkey, and one of the country's earliest and best-known internet
sites.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for the university: faculty and departmental systems, student labs and residence halls, library services and research computing.
- Hosting for university-run web, mail and DNS services.
Notable
- Announces a single legacy
/16(about 65,000 addresses), the classic shape of an early university allocation rather than a modern, fragmented one. - Reverse DNS across the block lands on
bilkent.edu.tr, including router names under the campus computer centre, confirming this is institutional campus space and not a commercial ISP.
Interesting
- Bilkent was among the first Turkish institutions on the internet, and both the low AS number and the unbroken
/16are artifacts of that early-1990s academic wave.
