Summary
Duke University
education research enterprise
A hundred and fifty thousand addresses, one neighbour, and nothing in reverse DNS.
What it's used for
- A United States university network. 151,808 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and two IPv6 prefixes.
Notable
- Two legacy /16s,
152.3.0.0/16and152.16.0.0/16, are netnamesDUKE-NETandDUKE-NET3. 67.159.64.0/18isDUKE-NET2, so the numbering does not follow the block sizes.152.22.224.0/20is netnameNCREN-DUKE-PARALLEL-IPV4-1, naming a state research network.- Registrant contacts include an IT security office alongside the usual hostmaster role.
- Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The word
PARALLELin a netname is space set aside for a second path into the same institution. Research networks run traffic that must not share a queue with a campus browsing the web, so the university keeps a separate allocation for the research side and announces it through the state network. - A security office listed as a registry contact is unusual. Most records name a hostmaster and stop. Putting the abuse and incident side in the public record is a decision to be reachable when something on a hundred and fifty thousand addresses misbehaves.
- One neighbour for a network this size is a campus that reaches the world entirely through its regional research network, which is how higher education has been connected since before commercial transit existed.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
