Summary
Tulane University
education university research campus
TULANE is the network of Tulane University, the private research university in New Orleans, Louisiana. The AS carries the university's campus, hospital and research connectivity.
What it's used for
- Campus networking: academic and administrative systems, student residential networks, library and research computing, and the university's medical-school and health-sciences campuses.
- The core of the announcement is the university's own
129.81.0.0/16— a class-B block of the kind handed to universities in the pre-CIDR era, when higher education was most of what was on the internet.
Notable
- Education, and the routing shape confirms it. RIS sees 131,072 IPv4 addresses announced across roughly 15 prefixes, against just 3 observed BGP neighbours. Three neighbours is an end-site with a couple of commodity upstreams plus, almost certainly, a regional research-and-education network; a network selling transit at this address volume would peer with hundreds.
- Most of the deaggregation is
/21–/24slices carved out of the same/16, which is what multihomed traffic engineering across a small number of links looks like — not a customer cone.
Interesting
- One prefix,
76.165.13.0/24, sits outside the historic129.81block: space originated from a commercial-style allocation alongside the legacy class-B, a common pattern where a university has picked up additional addresses for a specific site or service long after its original grant.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
