About this network

Autonomous System 7038 belongs to the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey — Tec de Monterrey, one of Mexico's largest and most prominent private universities, with campuses across the country.

What it's used for

• The university's campus networks: teaching, research, administration and student services. Reverse DNS on its space resolves under itesm.mx.
• Its prefixes come from 132.254.0.0/16 and 200.34.0.0/16, both early Mexican allocations.

Notable

• An academic network. Addresses here belong to an institution — labs, lecture halls, offices and campus WiFi — not to a commercial provider's customers.
• Tec de Monterrey was an early node in Mexico's connection to the internet; Mexican universities, rather than telcos, carried the country's first links.

Interesting

• The AS number sits in a range administered by ARIN, but the registration is held at LACNIC — a leftover from the years before Latin America and the Caribbean had a registry of their own.
