Summary
Universidad Simón Bolívar
education university research legacy
AS11694 is held by Universidad Simón Bolívar, the public science and engineering university in Caracas, Venezuela (Sartenejas campus). It is a single-institution campus network.
What it's used for
- Campus connectivity for the university: teaching, research, administration and student services. RIS sees exactly one prefix,
159.90.0.0/16(65,536 addresses), with 1 observed neighbour.
Notable
- One
/16behind one upstream is the classic academic profile of an institution that was allocated generous class-B space early and has never needed to fragment or multihome it. The single neighbour is decisive against any provider reading: a network that resold connectivity would have to peer with more than one party to be useful, and this one does not. - USB has historically been one of Venezuela's principal academic network sites, and a university-sized
/16announced as a single aggregate is consistent with a campus that numbers labs, departments and student networks out of one block rather than buying space piecemeal.
Interesting
- RDAP for
159.90.0.0/16did not resolve in this evidence pass, so the prefix's registrant record could not be confirmed independently. That is a failed lookup, not a finding — it neither confirms nor contradicts the holder, and nothing on this card rests on it. The identification comes from the AS holder record and the single-aggregate, single-upstream routing shape, both of which point the same way. - No IPv6 is announced, which is unusual for a research university of this size and hints that the campus network has not been through a modernisation pass recently.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
