AS14192 announces 4 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,280 addresses and 0 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

A liberal arts college with one upstream and a tidily numbered set of records.

What it's used for

• A college campus network. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• The netnames run CC-IPNET, CC-IPNET-2 and CC-IPNET-3, with the last covering two of the four blocks.
• All four are registered directly to the college with no role contact named.
• Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
• The AS first appeared in routing on 2000-08-18.

Interesting

• The unnumbered record came first and each later one took the next number, which makes the netnames a record of the order the college acquired its space. Nobody planned that as documentation, but it is the closest thing to a history these blocks have.
• One observed upstream is unusual for an institution that runs its own AS. The usual reason to take a number at all is to speak to more than one carrier, so a single neighbour suggests a research network connection that the collector sees as one relationship rather than two commercial links.
• Nothing published in reverse DNS is a modern choice for a campus. Colleges once named every machine in a residence hall, which told anyone scanning exactly where the unpatched student laptops were, and most have stopped.
• Four separate announcements for four blocks from three unrelated ranges is the cost of decades of small allocations.
