Summary
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University
education research
A university network whose routers are named after its faculties, reached through a single upstream.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for a Romanian university. 6,400 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
194.176.164.0/22is netnameUAIC-20000509, registered to the Digital Communications Department at UAIC.193.226.24.0/23belongs to a different holder: Institutul National de Cercetare-Dezvoltare in informatica, the national informatics research institute in Bucharest.- That block carries the netname
RO-RNC-193-226-0-127. - One sampled address answered as
gw-filosofie-c.uaic.ro, another asc1-1-cab.nat.uaic.ro. - The RDAP record for
193.231.30.0/23could not be retrieved. - First observed in the routing archive in December 2003, later than most entries here.
Interesting
gw-filosofieis a gateway router for the faculty of philosophy. Universities are among the few organisations whose internal structure is stable enough to name network equipment after, because a philosophy faculty outlives any given switch. The organisational chart ends up published in reverse DNS, one building at a time.- The netname
RO-RNC-193-226-0-127writes an address range into the name itself, marking out193.226.0through193.226.127as one administrative unit. Names like that come from an era when the range was the record, before the registry had a field for it. - A single observed neighbour for an entire university is the signature of a national research network: one upstream that aggregates every campus in the country, rather than commercial transit bought per institution.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
