Summary
East Carolina University
education university legacy
ECU-AS is East Carolina University, a public doctoral university in Greenville, North Carolina, and the campus network is what this AS routes. RIS observes 3 IPv4 prefixes covering 65,792 addresses, no IPv6, and 1 observed neighbour.
What it's used for
The announcement set is a classic university shape: a legacy 150.216.0.0/16 carrying essentially the whole campus, a more-specific 150.216.255.0/24 announced alongside it, and a single unrelated 204.84.66.0/24. Sixty-five thousand addresses is the footprint of an institution that numbered its dormitories, teaching buildings, labs, medical school and administrative systems out of one classful block back when addresses were plentiful, and never had reason to renumber. The single observed neighbour is consistent with a campus that reaches the wider internet through one regional research-and-education network rather than buying transit directly from several carriers.
Notable
No IPv6 is announced from this AS. That is worth flagging only because higher education was, as a sector, unusually early to deploy IPv6; a /16-sized campus with no v6 in the global table is an outlier among its peers.
Interesting
ECU hosts the Brody School of Medicine and a large health-sciences campus, so a meaningful share of the space behind this AS is clinical and research infrastructure rather than classroom and residential networking.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.

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 2026-10-17. 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.
