Summary
Kellogg Community College
education legacy
KELLOGGCC is the autonomous system of Kellogg Community College, the public two-year college in Battle Creek, Michigan. It is about as small as a routed network gets: RIS sees a single IPv4 prefix, 198.235.255.0/24 — 256 addresses — with no IPv6 and 2 observed BGP neighbours.
What it's used for
Campus connectivity for a community college. The one prefix is registered to Kellogg Community College itself under the matching KELLOGGCC handle, so the space is self-held rather than assigned by an upstream, and there are no third-party registrants anywhere in the inventory. The interesting detail is the size: 256 addresses is far too little to number a campus of students and staff directly, so what this AS routes is best understood as the college's public edge — its externally reachable services — with the bulk of the institution living behind it. Two neighbours is the classic end-site pattern: a pair of upstreams for redundancy, with no transit or peering role of its own.
Notable
A single /24 and an AS number is the minimum viable configuration for provider-independent, multi-homed presence, and it is a configuration you see disproportionately among US community colleges and school districts — institutions that want to keep their address space and their mail reputation when they change ISPs, without ever needing a large routed footprint. Small AS, real institution, no ambiguity in the evidence.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-22, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
