Summary
FloridaNet
education research legacy
FLORIDANET is a Florida research-and-education network, registered with ARIN to org handle FLORID-23 at Networking Services, 1772 Stadium Road, University of Florida, Gainesville. Its core routers answer under flrnet.org — Florida LambdaRail, the state's R&E backbone — and the space it announces belongs to Florida universities and colleges.
What it's used for
Connectivity for Florida's higher-education institutions. The AS announces 34 IPv4 prefixes (~9,728 addresses) and 3 IPv6 prefixes including a 2607:f5d8::/32, and RIS observes 72 neighbours. That neighbour count against a modest address count is the giveaway: an enterprise of this size would peer with a handful. Seventy-plus adjacencies means the AS is aggregating — carrying member campuses and exchanging routes at exchange points on their behalf, which is exactly what a state R&E network does.
Notable
The prefix registrations name the members directly rather than the operator. 131.91.252.0/22 and 131.91.183.0/24 are registered to FAU (Florida Atlantic University), 169.139.190.0/23 to Eastern Florida State College, and the 108.59.x and 64.56.x blocks to FLR-NET and NET-FLR-PENSC-1. The reverse DNS confirms it — naboo.fau.edu, s183n133.fau.edu, bccnews.brevard.cc.fl.us, and the backbone's own i1-flrcore-108-59-29-133.rtr.net.flrnet.org.
Interesting
This is the benign version of the pattern that flags an address broker: many prefixes registered to parties other than the announcing AS. The difference is that every registrant here is a real, findable Florida institution whose own domain shows up in the reverse DNS. Registrants that are not the holder are only suspicious when the registrants themselves cannot be found.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
