About this network

A university's second AS, named for a project rather than the campus, carrying one /24.

What it's used for

• A university research network. 256 addresses in the single IPv4 prefix 192.58.122.0/24, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The AS handle and the netname are both the university's initials joined to a five-letter word.
• That word names neither the institution nor any department in the registrant field.
• The registrant is the university itself.
• One upstream carries the whole block.
• First seen in the routing archive on 2006-02-22, timestamped at midnight.
• Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

• Universities run their campus traffic under one AS and then take a second number for work that has to be kept away from it. A separate AS with one upstream and one small block is the shape of a project network: the routing is kept simple because the point is isolation, not reachability.
• Naming the object after the project rather than the institution is what makes it legible years later. The initials say who is responsible and the word says which effort it belongs to, which is more than most of the enterprise records in this range manage.
• A first-seen date well after the university's main network appeared dates the project, not the campus.
