Summary
Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
education research legacy
The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (AS-BG-BAS) — Bulgaria's national scientific
academy, founded in 1869 and the umbrella for the country's state research
institutes. Roughly 17,000 IPv4 addresses plus an IPv6 /32.
What it's used for
- Connectivity for the Academy's institutes, laboratories and administration. The reverse DNS is straightforward academic naming under
bas.bg, with per-institute subdomains (mechanics, biophysics and the rest) and the Academy's border routers and mail servers sitting in the same space. - The AS aggregates the institutes rather than giving each its own; a researcher's workstation and the Academy's core routers share one address plan.
Notable
- Institutional, not eyeball. A national academy's address space carries staff, labs and scientific computing, so it looks like a large campus network: named hosts, no dynamic pools, and only a couple of upstreams.
- An IPv6
/32for a research organisation of this size reflects the academic networks' early and generous IPv6 adoption — Europe's research community was deploying it while commercial ISPs were still ignoring it.
