AS8480 USATU-AS Ufa State Aviation Technical University

USATU-AS is registered to the Ufa University of Science and Technology in Ufa,

Bashkortostan. The handle preserves the name of Ufa State Aviation Technical

University, the engineering school that merged into the new university in

November 2022.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for the university's engineering and technical faculties: departmental systems, computing labs and student services.
• Hosting for institutional web and mail services.

Notable

• Institutional address space, not a service provider: roughly 1,500 IPv4 addresses across three prefixes, with two BGP neighbours. Russian universities typically reach the internet via a regional academic network rather than as transit customers in their own right.
• The 193.233.0.0/16 range that most of this space comes from is historically associated with Russian academic and research networking.

Interesting

• The university also holds [AS8475](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS8475) under the UUST handle. The two adjacent numbers were registered by the two institutions that later merged, and both now sit under one holder.
