Summary
META Solutions
education isp legacy
META Solutions is an Ohio regional technology centre, registered as the Tri-Rivers Educational Computer Association, providing network and IT services to school districts.
What it's used for
- Internet connectivity and shared services for K-12 schools. A sampled address answers as
gig-0-0-3.graf-asr.uaschools.net— a router interface, on a district's domain, reachable inside this AS.
Notable
- Six prefixes, all carved from
66.203.32.0/19and all registered asMETA-SOLUTIONSto the Tri-Rivers association. 8,192 addresses, two observed BGP neighbours. - The reverse DNS gives away the architecture:
gig-0-0-3is a Cisco GigabitEthernet interface andasris the router platform, so the addresses being sampled are network equipment rather than end hosts. This AS carries the links between schools, not the schools' own address space. - No IPv6 announced.
Interesting
- US school districts are too small individually to run networks, so states built regional service agencies to do it for them — in Ohio these are Information Technology Centers, each serving dozens of districts. The result is a tier of the internet that exists only in education: not a commercial ISP, not a university, but a shared purchasing and operations body with its own AS and its own address space.

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 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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.
