AS10353 STCC-5

STCC-5 is Southwest Tennessee Community College, a public two-year college in

Memphis, Tennessee, formed in 2000 from the merger of Shelby State Community

College and State Technical Institute at Memphis.

What it's used for

• Campus networking across the college's Memphis-area sites: classroom and lab computing, student and faculty access, library systems, and the administrative back office of a public community college.
• The whole footprint is a single 64.79.176.0/20 and five more-specifics carved out of it — one contiguous block, held and announced by its registrant. That is an end-site's address plan, not a provider's.

Notable

• Education, and the neighbour count settles it. RIS sees 6 IPv4 prefixes / 4,096 addresses announced with exactly 1 observed BGP neighbour. A single upstream means the college is a leaf on the internet: it buys connectivity and originates only its own space. Nothing here is sold onward, so hosting, transit and eyeball-ISP readings are all ruled out.
• Small address volume paired with campus-scale deaggregation (/22s and /23s inside a /20) is typical of a public college that carries provider-independent space so it can change carriers without renumbering.

Interesting

• Community colleges commonly ride a state or regional research-and-education network rather than running their own AS at all. Southwest Tennessee holding an ASN and PI space of its own is the mark of an institution that wanted to keep its addressing independent of whichever carrier it contracts with.
