About this network

CALPOLY-NET-ENS is the Autonomous System of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), a large public polytechnic in the California State University system.

What it's used for

• The Cal Poly campus network: student and faculty access, residence halls, academic and research computing, and the university's public services.
• rDNS across the space is unambiguously campus IT — netadm.calpoly.edu for network administration hosts, its.calpoly.edu for Information Technology Services, ad.calpoly.edu for directory-joined machines.
• Campus infrastructure services, including public NTP servers (time3.calpoly.edu, time4.calpoly.edu).

Notable

• The AS announces 129.65.0.0/16, a legacy Class B assigned to the university — the standard allocation for a US campus in the pre-CIDR era.
• Addresses here are institutional: they belong to campus machines, lab networks and campus Wi-Fi, not to home broadband subscribers. An IP in AS7960 means "someone on the Cal Poly network", which includes students in university housing.

Interesting

• Cal Poly's "learn by doing" model means a lot of what runs on this network is student-operated — course projects, competition teams and student-run services sit alongside ordinary university IT.
