About this network

Two blocks under a network name the college no longer trades as, one of them from the earliest era of allocations.

What it's used for

• A community college's network. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 199.184.232.0/22 is netname METRONET-CBLK and 192.188.99.0/24 is netname METRONET.
• Neither netname contains the college's name, only the name of the network it ran.
• The 192.188 block is legacy space, cut long before the current allocation system existed.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Colleges of this size were early on the network because they had the people to run one, and the legacy /24 is the receipt. It was issued when a single institution asking for addresses was unusual enough to be granted without much argument.
• Naming the blocks after the network rather than the institution is a habit from a period when the network was a distinct thing with its own identity, budget and staff, rather than a utility the college simply has.
• One upstream and no IPv6 for an educational institution is the common case rather than the exception, and the reason campus networks are consistently the last to move.
