About this network

PCCD is the network of the Palomar Community College District, a public community college district headquartered in San Marcos, California, serving northern San Diego County.

What it's used for

• Campus networking for Palomar College and the district's education centers: classrooms and labs, student and staff services, and the district's public web presence.
• Announces a small set of legacy /24s out of 205.153.156.0/22, a 192.30.115.0/24, and an IPv6 /48.

Notable

• Community colleges rarely hold their own ASN; most sit behind a state or regional education network. Palomar's dates to 1996, when running your own autonomous system was a more ordinary thing for a campus to do.
• The address space is institutional — faculty, staff and campus services — not a consumer access network.

Interesting

• The ASN sits in a tight 1996 registration run alongside several unrelated American networks, a reminder that low AS numbers were handed out sequentially as requests arrived rather than reserved for anyone important.
