About this network

SHERIDAN-NET belongs to the Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, a public college in Oakville, Ontario with campuses across the Greater Toronto Area. The ASN is a 1995 ARIN allocation.

What it's used for

• The college's campus network, announcing the legacy 142.55.0.0/16 block that covers its Oakville, Brampton, and Mississauga sites.

Notable

• An institutional network: addresses serve classrooms, studios, labs, and college services rather than commercial subscribers.
• A full class-B allocation for a single college is a mark of how generously address space was handed out in the mid-1990s.

Interesting

• Sheridan is best known internationally for its animation and illustration programs, so a good share of what this network carries is student media work rather than conventional academic computing.
