About this network

The state government network of Mississippi (MISSISSIPPI-STATE-GOVERNMENT), run by the Department of Information Technology Services in Jackson, the central IT agency for the state.

What it's used for

• Connectivity for Mississippi state agencies, boards and commissions.
• Public-sector education networking: reverse names in the space resolve under k12.ms.us, indicating the network also carries traffic for the state's K-12 school systems.
• Announces around nine prefixes, a mix of legacy 192.x /24s and larger 69.60.32.0/19 and 216.229.192.0/19 blocks.

Notable

• Reverse DNS is unambiguously institutional (itsd.state.ms.us, mde.k12.ms.us). There are no dial-up, DSL or CGNAT-style subscriber names, so this is a government enterprise network rather than a consumer ISP, even though it serves a large user population.
• ITS is a consolidated state IT provider, so a single AS fronts what would be many separate networks in states that do not centralize.

Interesting

• State-government ASNs like this are a quiet feature of the low four-digit range: several US states registered their own AS during the mid-1990s wave of public-sector internet connections.
