Summary
BYDMAN
education isp business
A university-run metropolitan network in Bydgoszcz, carrying a village's fibre build under its own netname.
What it's used for
- Academic and regional connectivity in Poland. 30,976 addresses in 20 IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and 20 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The registrant on nearly every block is Politechnika Bydgoska im. Jana i Jedrzeja Sniadeckich, the Bydgoszcz university of technology.
- Netnames run
PL-BYDMAN-990511,PL-BYDMAN-20060619,PL-BYDMAN-20081212,PL-BYDMAN-20110208andPL-BYDMAN-20110216. - Four blocks are named for what they serve instead:
OSIELSKO-NET-3,OSIELSKO-NET-GPON,PBSCOM-BYDandTELSTEN-BYD. - The IPv6 announcements are
2001:90c::/31and2001:90e::/32. - Eighteen sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
MANin the name is metropolitan area network, and Polish academic networking is built out of them: a university in each city runs the regional infrastructure and everyone else connects through it. The addresses belong to the polytechnic, but the customers plainly do not.OSIELSKO-NET-GPONnames a fibre access technology and a rural gmina outside the city. A village getting fibre through the local university is a funding model as much as a network design, and here it is written into the address registry.- A
/31of IPv6 is twice the standard allocation and an odd size to hold. Academic networks were early to IPv6 and were given room accordingly, at a time when nobody was counting.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
