Summary
Heritage University
education university legacy
HERITAGE-UNIV-AS is the network of Heritage University, a small private university on the Yakama Reservation at Toppenish in the Yakima Valley of Washington state. RIS sees 2 IPv4 prefixes — 216.186.98.0/24 and 216.186.19.0/24, about 512 addresses — no IPv6, and a single observed BGP neighbour.
What it's used for
Campus connectivity for a single small institution: administration, classrooms and labs, library systems and the university's public services. Two /24s and one upstream is an end-site with no redundancy at the BGP layer, which is a proportionate answer for a university of a few thousand students. Both prefixes are registered to the institution itself, so this is self-held space announced by its owner — no provider-assigned blocks, no third-party registrants, nothing that looks brokered.
Notable
The two registrations carry different org names: 216.186.98.0/24 is registered to Heritage College and 216.186.19.0/24 to Heritage University. This is the same body under two names. The institution began in Toppenish as Heritage College, having moved there from Spokane, and later took university status; the older block simply kept the older registration. A pair of "unrelated" registrant names that turn out to be one organisation at two points in its life is exactly the false positive the IP-leasing test is designed to survive — the tell for brokered space is several genuinely unrelated third parties at once, not a stale legal name.
Interesting
Heritage serves a rural, largely Hispanic and Native American student body in the Yakima Valley — roughly seven in ten of its students are Hispanic — from a campus sitting on the Yakama Reservation. It is one of the few university ASNs in this range whose network is physically located on tribal land.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
