Summary
Georgia State University
education university legacy
GSU10631 is Georgia State University, the public research university in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the largest universities in the United States by enrolment, and the ASN carries its campus network.
What it's used for
This is a university's own campus network, not a service provider. The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 131.96.0.0/16, totalling 65,536 addresses, no IPv6, and RIS sees it with one observed neighbour.
That combination is the classic end-site signature. The neighbour count is the useful half: a wholesale or transit carrier peers with hundreds to thousands of ASes regardless of how much address space it holds, while an institution that simply buys connectivity and announces its own block peers with a handful. One neighbour says this network is a customer of its upstream, not a carrier for anyone else. In practice, that upstream role for a Georgia public university is filled by the state's research and education network rather than a commercial ISP, though the routing data alone does not name it.
The space itself carries the usual mix a large urban campus needs: staff and faculty desktops, teaching labs, wireless for students, and whatever public-facing services the university runs from its own address space.
Notable
The whole allocation is one clean, contiguous legacy /16 announced as a single unaggregated route. No deaggregation into more-specifics, no scattered acquisitions of unrelated blocks: an early, single, ample allocation that has never needed to be topped up. That is characteristic of an institution that got into the routing table early and has stayed within its original footprint ever since.
Reverse DNS returned nothing on the two addresses sampled. That is a sample, not a finding, and nothing should be inferred from it.

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 2026-11-07, 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: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
