About this network

Autonomous System 4246 (NJIT-AS) belongs to the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a public research university in Newark, New Jersey.

What it's used for

• Campus network connectivity: faculty, staff, student residences, labs, and the university's public web and research services.

Notable

• University address space, which behaves unlike consumer space. A single IP can be a lecture hall, a dorm room, or a research cluster, and NAT means many people can share one address.
• NJIT holds a full legacy /16, a generous allocation typical of universities that connected in the early days of the internet.
• The AS number is from the mid-1990s and has been held by the university ever since. The -Z suffix on the ARIN org handle is a registry housekeeping artifact, not a sign the number changed hands.
