AS11494 KELLOGGCC

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.
