AS13796 UCONN-ARIN
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
University of Connecticut
education research infrastructure
Ninety thousand addresses from three eras of allocation, all under one netname and one upstream.
What it's used for
- A university's network. 90,112 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The prefixes are
137.99.0.0/16,50.28.128.0/18and67.221.64.0/19, from three different parts of the address space. - All three are netname
UCONN-NET, registered directly to the university. - One neighbour carries the whole network.
- First seen in the routing archive on 2003-08-19, timestamped in the afternoon.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A /16 marks an institution present when addresses were handed out freely. A /18 and a /19 from ranges issued much later mark one that kept coming back and was still granted large blocks. Holding all three directly, rather than borrowing from a carrier, is rare at any size.
- One netname across three separate allocations is a registry kept tidy on purpose. Most organisations in this range accumulate a different label per request; this one relabelled everything to match.
- Ninety thousand addresses behind a single upstream is the same trade the other large universities here have made. The AS number exists to hold the space, not to survive a link failing.

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 2026-10-19, 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: 442 networks and 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
