AS13327 EKU - Eastern Kentucky University
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Eastern Kentucky University
education research
Three letters do the whole job: the handle, the netname and the short name are all EKU.
What it's used for
- The network of a United States university. 65,536 addresses in the single prefix
157.89.0.0/16, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle and the netname are both
EKU. - The block lists the university and a network operations centre role.
- One prefix, two neighbours, no IPv6.
Interesting
- This is close to the shortest complete registry record possible. One identifier, reused in every field that will take it, describing one block that has never been split. Nothing here needs interpreting, which makes it the exception in a range full of records that do.
- A /16 with no IPv6 alongside it is the common shape for a campus that got its space early. A neighbouring university in this same range took a /32 of IPv6 anyway; this one has not, and with sixty-five thousand addresses there is no pressure making it urgent.
- Two neighbours is the minimum that gives a second path. For a campus that mostly consumes rather than sells connectivity, that is the whole requirement.

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 2026-11-11, 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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
