About this network

BYU is the campus network of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

What it's used for

• Campus connectivity: teaching, research, administration, residence halls and university services.
• The AS announces BYU's classic 128.187.0.0/16 along with a smaller assignment, plus IPv6.

Notable

• A full legacy /16 is the hallmark of an institution that received address space in the era when universities were allocated Class B networks directly. This is a genuine mid-1990s ARIN registration (1996), not a reissued number.
• The abuse contact is the CES Security Operations Center, and one announced block carries the netname ENSIGN-EDU-01. BYU's network security operations serve the wider Church Educational System, so the AS reaches beyond the Provo campus alone.

Interesting

• BYU's ARIN organisation handle ends in -Z. That suffix is a legacy-cleanup artifact in ARIN's database, not evidence of a reassignment, and it pairs here with a real 1996 ASN registration.
