About this network

WSCNET-AS belongs to Westfield State University, a public university in Westfield, Massachusetts. The handle preserves its former name, Westfield State College, and so does its rDNS: addresses resolve to westfield-state-college.wsc.ma.edu.

What it's used for

• Campus networking — student residence halls, faculty and staff desktops, labs, wireless, and the university's own servers and web presence.

Notable

• About 12,000 IPv4 addresses across a few prefixes, which is a normal size for a mid-sized US campus. An IP here is a person on campus (or a campus service), not a hosting customer.
• Campus networks mix a lot of behaviours behind one AS: dorm traffic looks like residential broadband, while the administrative and library ranges look like a corporate network.

Interesting

• The wsc.ma.edu domain and the -college reverse records outlived the 2010 rename to Westfield State University. Institutional networks change their names on the sign long before they change them in DNS.
