Unclassified RIPE
Summary
University of Piraeus
university education research legacy
The campus network of a Greek university, reached through the national research network.
What it's used for
- Campus and departmental connectivity. 4,608 addresses in four IPv4 prefixes, one IPv6
/48, a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- All four prefixes share the netname
UOPIRAEUS-NETand are registered to the University of Piraeus NOC — the operators, named as the responsible party rather than the institution. - The IPv6 announcement is
2001:648:24a0::/48, a/48carved out of2001:648::/32. The IPv4 blocks come from two separate ranges,195.251and83.212. - One neighbour. A campus network reaches the internet through the research network and nothing else.
Interesting
- Reverse DNS is organised by department, not by building or by subnet.
noc.unipi.grholdssubnetCSVMandsubnetTECH;ted.unipi.grholdsxifi122andlab30760;naf.unipi.grholdsmstam3. Machines named for a project, a lab inventory number and somebody's initials, filed under the department that bought them. - The
subnet-prefixed names are a network team's own convention: an address named after the subnet it anchors, so that a traceroute reads as a map. Universities produce more legible reverse DNS than most commercial networks because the people naming the machines are the people using them.

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 2026-10-26, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
