About this network
PDXNET is the autonomous system of Portland State University, the public research university in downtown Portland, Oregon. It carries the campus network and the university's public-facing services.
What it's used for
- Campus connectivity for students, faculty and staff across PSU's downtown Portland campus.
- Public-facing university services: web, mail, DNS, library and research systems.
- Announces PSU's legacy 131.252.0.0/16 block plus a small amount of additional Oregon research-network address space and an IPv6 /32.
Notable
The address space is institutional, not commercial. It maps to campus buildings, labs, wired and wireless networks and residence halls rather than to a consumer ISP's subscriber pools, so it behaves like a university network: bursty, weekday-heavy, and dominated by dorm and lab clients rather than households.
The AS is registered under ARIN and dates to the mid-1990s expansion, when individual US universities began taking their own AS numbers instead of sitting behind a regional network.
Interesting
Portland State sits at the centre of Oregon's higher-education networking; the university's routing has long been intertwined with the state's research-and-education network fabric, which is why a small amount of non-131.252 Oregon research space also originates here.
