About this network

Every block is filed under five letters that are not an abbreviation of the university's current name.

What it's used for

• A university's campus network. 65,536 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes, with seven observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• Every record checked carries the netname MEMST, registered to The University of Memphis with an IT infrastructure team as contact.
• The nine prefixes tile 141.225 exactly: a /17, /18, /19, /20 and /21 halving down the range, then a /22, a /23 and two /24s covering the last stretch.
• Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The registry lookup for 141.225.128.0/18 failed.

Interesting

• MEMST is what the institution was called when the block was registered. Renaming a university updates the letterhead and the domain long before it reaches a registry record that nothing depends on, so the old name survives in the one field nobody thinks to change.
• The split starts as a textbook halving chain and then loses patience: the last eighth is cut into a /22, a /23 and two separate /24s. That is a range subdivided on paper at the start and then carved up as needs arrived.
• Seven neighbours is high for a single campus. Universities sit on research networks, regional education networks and commercial transit at once, and every one of those arrangements counts.
• Nothing answers a reverse lookup anywhere in it.
