Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Fundação de Apoio da Universidade Federal
education research legacy
AS10875 is registered to a fundação de apoio, one of the foundations that Brazilian federal universities use to administer research grants, contracts and extension projects. The registry name is truncated to FUNDACAO DE APOIO DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO, and the routing identifies the parent: its upstream is the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, AS2716.
What it's used for
University-affiliated research and administrative networking, reached through the university itself rather than a commercial carrier. RIS shows 1 announced IPv4 prefix (200.238.0.0/24, 256 addresses), 1 announced IPv6 prefix (2804:0:7e00::/40), and 7 observed neighbours.
The interesting asymmetry is between the two families. The IPv4 footprint is a single /24, about as small as a routed network gets, while the IPv6 announcement is a /40, an allocation with room for hundreds of thousands of subnets. That is characteristic of a Brazilian academic network that received generous v6 space from NIC.br in the national IPv6 push and is scarce on v4 because Latin American v4 ran out early. The handful of neighbours confirms an edge network: it consumes connectivity, it does not sell it.
Notable
Fundações de apoio are legally separate non-profits from the universities they serve, which is why they hold their own ASN and address space instead of living inside the university's. Functionally the traffic is academic: project staff, grant administration, and research support services sitting alongside the campus network.
Interesting
The v6 block sits inside 2800::/12, the range IANA delegated to LACNIC, so the prefix alone places the network in Latin America before you look up a single record.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
