AS11214 UNIVERSITY-OF-NORTH-FLORIDA

UNIVERSITY-OF-NORTH-FLORIDA is the campus network of the University of North Florida, a public university in Jacksonville, Florida. It announces one IPv4 /16 and one IPv6 /44, both registered to the university's own UNFNET handle.

What it's used for

Campus connectivity for a mid-sized public university: academic departments, administration, residence halls, wireless and library systems. The observed routing is deliberately simple — 1 announced IPv4 prefix (139.62.0.0/16, 65,536 addresses), 1 announced IPv6 prefix (2620:129:e000::/44), and a single observed BGP neighbour. One clean aggregate per family and one upstream is the textbook shape of a campus that connects through a state research-and-education network rather than buying commercial transit directly.

Notable

Unlike many of its neighbours in this AS-number range, UNF is not announcing carrier-assigned space. Both the IPv4 /16 and the IPv6 /44 are provider-independent allocations held by the institution itself, and the university announces them without deaggregating into more-specifics — a sign of a single-homed network with no need to steer traffic between paths.

Interesting

The IPv6 block sits in 2620::/12, ARIN's provider-independent IPv6 range, and a /44 is a generous, well-planned assignment: it gives the campus sixteen /48s to hand out internally. A university running dual-stack with a single aggregate on each side, rather than a scatter of legacy fragments, is a sign of a network that was renumbered and planned rather than accreted.
