About this network

META Solutions is an Ohio regional technology centre, registered as the Tri-Rivers Educational Computer Association, providing network and IT services to school districts.

What it's used for

• Internet connectivity and shared services for K-12 schools. A sampled address answers as gig-0-0-3.graf-asr.uaschools.net — a router interface, on a district's domain, reachable inside this AS.

Notable

• Six prefixes, all carved from 66.203.32.0/19 and all registered as META-SOLUTIONS to the Tri-Rivers association. 8,192 addresses, two observed BGP neighbours.
• The reverse DNS gives away the architecture: gig-0-0-3 is a Cisco GigabitEthernet interface and asr is the router platform, so the addresses being sampled are network equipment rather than end hosts. This AS carries the links between schools, not the schools' own address space.
• No IPv6 announced.

Interesting

• US school districts are too small individually to run networks, so states built regional service agencies to do it for them — in Ohio these are Information Technology Centers, each serving dozens of districts. The result is a tier of the internet that exists only in education: not a commercial ISP, not a university, but a shared purchasing and operations body with its own AS and its own address space.
