Summary
University of Arkansas
education university research legacy
UARK-FAYETTEVILLE is the University of Arkansas, the state's flagship land-grant research university in Fayetteville. The AS carries the campus network.
What it's used for
The routing inventory is about as clean as an end-site gets: a single IPv4 prefix, 130.184.0.0/16 (65,536 addresses), plus a single IPv6 prefix, 2604:fc00::/32, and one observed neighbour in RIS. Nothing here resembles a carrier. A transit network peers with hundreds or thousands of ASes and announces fragmented space picked up over time; this is one classic /16 held by one institution and announced as one route.
The /16 is the university's public campus space, covering wired and wireless client networks, labs, and university-run servers. Public documentation from the university's IT services describes campus hosts as living at 130.184.x.x, with much of the building network migrated behind private RFC 1918 space and NAT, so the announced /16 is now a mix of directly addressed hosts and translation endpoints rather than a fully populated flat range.
Notable
Reverse DNS returned nothing for the two addresses sampled here, which is a sample and not a finding. Draw no conclusion from it either way.
The IPv6 allocation is a full /32, which is the size normally handed to a network operator rather than to a single end site. Universities of this vintage often hold operator-scale IPv6 space because they address a campus the way an ISP addresses a region, subnetting per building and per department.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
