About this network

The network of Portland Public Schools, the K-12 school district serving Portland, Oregon, registered under the handle PPS.

What it's used for

• Networking for district schools and administration: classroom and lab machines, student and staff devices, and the district's own services. The AS announces a single 159.191.0.0/16, a full Class B, for the whole district.

Notable

• This is education space, but K-12 rather than higher education. Addresses here are used by school staff and by students, many of them minors, on district-managed devices behind district filtering.
• A /16 is a generous allocation for a school district, and reflects a mid-1990s ARIN assignment made when addresses were handed out far more freely than they are today.
