China Education And Research Network Center

CHINA EDUCATION AND RESEARCH NETWORK CENTER is the operating organization behind CERNET, China’s nationwide education and research network established in 1994 and managed under the Ministry of Education. Public descriptions place the national network center at Tsinghua University, supporting connectivity for universities and research institutions.

Routing and registry data consistently associates the organization with AS4538 (ERX-CERNET-BKB) in APNIC, with operations referenced at Tsinghua University in Beijing and abuse handling via cernet.edu.cn mailboxes. PeeringDB lists the network as Educational/Research with an open peering policy, while public BGP views show large-scale prefix announcements under AS4538.

Standalone end-user review coverage for this network operator is sparse in common review platforms; most mentions are technical or registry-oriented rather than service-quality feedback. With limited direct user reports, the overall reputation signal remains mixed/insufficient.
