About this network

The campus network of Clemson University in South Carolina.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for teaching, research and student access. A /17 is registered specifically as CLEMSON-WIRELESS-NET, and the sampled reverse DNS under tigernet.wifi.dyn.clemson.edu confirms it carries the campus wireless pool.

Notable

• Just four IPv4 prefixes for 98,000 addresses, and three of them are legacy-era assignments: a full /16 at 130.127.0.0/16 plus two /24s out of 192.5 and 192.42. Universities were early enough to ARIN's predecessors to receive space on this scale, which is why a mid-sized campus still holds more addresses than most companies.
• Four observed BGP neighbours. This is an end site that consumes connectivity rather than providing it, most likely reached through the state research network.

Interesting

• Devoting an entire /17 to wireless says something about how campus networking changed. That block is larger than the whole address holding of many ISPs, and it exists because every student now arrives with several devices that each want an address on the wifi.
