About this network

The campus network of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, run by the university's Information Technology Services group under the handle VANDERBILT.

What it's used for

• Connectivity for teaching, research, administration and residential campus life across the university and its associated medical and research facilities.

Notable

• The AS holds the legacy 129.59.0.0/16 plus a handful of /24s and an IPv6 /32 (2607:8a00::/32). A dedicated Class B is standard for a research university that got its address space early.
• The registered technical contact is a "Network Design and Engineering" group, i.e. an in-house campus network team rather than an outsourced provider.

Interesting

• The ASN was registered with ARIN in October 1996, in the same sequential run as several other US campuses and enterprises in the AS72xx range.
