NIST Application
The following page provides details on domains, networks, IPs, hosting services, and content delivery networks used by NIST.
What is NIST?
NIST - Technology
NIST promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.
NIST Domains
Platform Domains
| Platform | Sample Domain | Details |
|---|---|---|
Amazon AWS
|
{hidden}.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com | |
Salesforce

{hidden}.siteforce.com |
Network Ranges
- 129.6.0.0/16
- 132.163.96.0/23
- 2610:20:6000::/36
NIST uses dedicated network blocks. This application dataset includes only those network ranges exclusively assigned to this service.
NIST Network
Some organizations deploy all or parts of an application solution through their own infrastructure instead of third party hosting providers like AWS or Google Cloud Platform. The following is a sample of active IP addresses on the NIST Network.
| Sample IP | ASN | ASN Description | Route | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 129.6.13.8 | AS49 | US National Institude of St... | 129.6.12.0/23 | United States |
| 129.6.13.9 | AS49 | US National Institude of St... | 129.6.12.0/23 | United States |
| 129.6.13.16 | AS49 | US National Institude of St... | 129.6.12.0/23 | United States |
| 129.6.13.35 | AS49 | US National Institude of St... | 129.6.12.0/23 | United States |
| 129.6.13.141 | AS49 | US National Institude of St... | 129.6.12.0/23 | United States |
| ... and 31 more | ||||
Core Networks
Applications are sometimes deployed on partner networks, parent company networks, or regional hosting providers. The following is a sample of NIST IP addresses deployed on this type of network.
| Network | IP | PoP | Category | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Microsoft
|
131.107.13.100 | Core Network | Business | United States |
Hosting
| SaaS | Sample IP | # of IPs |
|---|---|---|
|
Amazon AWS
|
18.235.227.114 | 14 |
NIST primarily uses Amazon AWS for its cloud hosting needs.
Content Delivery Networks - CDNs
Summary
| CDN | Sample IP | # of IPs |
|---|---|---|
Cloudflare
