AS13712 SMUMN - Saint Marys University of Minnesota
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota
education business infrastructure
The netname spells the institution's entire name out in hyphens, at the opposite extreme from the initials most organisations use.
What it's used for
- A private university's network. 4,096 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Both blocks are netname
SAINT-MARYS-UNIVERSITY-OF-MINNESOTA, written out in full. - The two prefixes are
140.190.120.0/21and140.190.248.0/21, two pieces of one older range that do not abut. - First seen in the routing archive on 2008-03-15, an actual date rather than the archive's start.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A netname that spells everything out is legible to a person and immune to the guessing that abbreviations require. It is also thirty-odd characters of a field that most operators treat as a serial number, and it is the rarer choice by a wide margin.
- Two /21s from the same parent range, far apart within it, means the university was assigned pieces of a block it does not hold whole. The gaps between them belong to someone else.
- A campus network announcing no IPv6 and naming nothing in reverse DNS is the common case for higher education in this range, whatever the sector's reputation for being early.

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 2026-11-08, 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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
