AS9851 PRO-AS-KR KOREA UNIVERSITY OF MEDIA ARTS

AS9851 (PRO-AS-KR) is held by the Korea University of Media Arts (한국영상대학교, KUMA), a private specialised visual-arts university in Sejong, South Korea. The PRO handle matches the institution's domain, pro.ac.kr, which is a useful confirmation that the handle and the holder really are the same organisation rather than a coincidence of naming.

What it's used for

This is a campus network. RIS sees two IPv4 prefixes carrying about 2,304 addresses: a 210.106.64.0/21 and a single 1.227.168.0/24. There is no IPv6, and just one BGP neighbour. A single upstream means the AS is not multihomed at all, which is common for a Korean university that takes its connectivity from one national research or commercial carrier and runs an ASN mainly so that its address space is portable and independently routable.

The size fits the institution: a /21 plus a /24 is enough for a single-campus university's public services, labs, teaching networks and student-facing systems, but far too small to be doing anything wholesale. The absence of a customer cone and the single neighbour rule out any transit or hosting role. As a media-arts school with production facilities, the campus almost certainly moves large video files internally, but nothing about that workload shows up in the global routing table.

Notable

• The institution has been renamed several times over its history and adopted its current name in 2013; the registry handle predates that and gives no clue to the current name.
• One neighbour and no IPv6 make this one of the more minimal educational ASNs in this range.
