BELNET (or the Belgian National research and education network) is a Belgian internet provider for research institutions. Beginning in 1989, BELNET provides web services to higher education, federal departments and ministries, and international organisations.
BELNET operates the Belgian CERT, BE-CERT, and the Belgian National Internet eXchange (BNIX) since 1995. BELNET is connected to GÉANT, the high speed pan-european rsearch backbone and to several European internet exchanges and is active in Grid computing.
Since 2001, BELNET provides IPv6 connectivity and multicast access to its customers.
One of BELNET's FTP servers is a mirror for holding several files related to the FOSS and GNU communities, as well as Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora.
Since 2004, BELNET is the operator of BEgrid, the Belgian research grid infrastructure[1], and since 2009 it is also the operator of the BEgrid Portal (based on P-GRADE Portal technology).
