About this network

HSD2-AS belongs to Harrison School District Two, the public K-12 school district serving the south-east side of Colorado Springs, Colorado. This is a school district's own internet edge, not a service provider.

What it's used for

The footprint is deliberately tiny: RIS observes one IPv4 prefix, 206.253.94.0/23 (512 addresses), and no IPv6. That is enough for the district's outward-facing services — mail gateways, VPN for staff, remote-access endpoints, public web presence, and NAT pools for the campus networks behind them. Student and staff devices themselves sit on private space; a district with thousands of Chromebooks does not need thousands of public addresses.

Notable

The kind is education, and unusually the name and the evidence agree. The routing corroborates it rather than contradicting it: one observed BGP neighbour means single-homed to a single upstream, almost certainly a state or regional education network or a local carrier. Nothing about that shape is compatible with hosting, transit or an eyeball ISP.

Interesting

A K-12 district holding its own ASN at all is an artefact of when it registered. HSD2-AS sits in the AS10xxx band, allocated in the late 1990s, when a school district that wanted redundant links or portable address space simply asked for a number. Today most districts of this size get a single provider-assigned block and never appear in the global routing table at all.
