AS11204 KPCSD

KPCSD belongs to the Kings Park Central School District, a public K-12 district on Long Island, New York. Its address space is not its own: both announced prefixes sit inside 206.226.128.0/17, a 1995 direct allocation held by Western Suffolk BOCES in Wheatley Heights, NY.

What it's used for

School-district connectivity — administrative systems, school buildings and student networks. The routing is exactly what that implies: 2 announced IPv4 prefixes, 512 addresses, no IPv6, and 2 observed BGP neighbours. A district runs its own ASN not to sell transit but to hold a stable address footprint across two upstreams; a handful of neighbours against a couple of hundred addresses is an end-site, never a carrier.

Notable

The reverse DNS is the tell that ties the whole picture together: sampled addresses in both 206.226.144.0/24 and 206.226.156.0/24 resolve under sta.wsboces.org. BOCES — Boards of Cooperative Educational Services — are New York's regional education service agencies, and Western Suffolk BOCES acts as the regional network and internet provider for its member districts. Kings Park is one of those members, announcing space delegated to it from the BOCES /17 while keeping its own AS number.

Interesting

This is a common but easy-to-misread shape. The prefix registrant (Western Suffolk BOCES) is not the AS holder (Kings Park CSD), which in other contexts would be an address-leasing warning sign. Here it is simply how the public-education hierarchy allocates: the regional service agency holds the block, and member districts announce slices of it.
