Summary
Westmoreland Intermediate Unit
education government infrastructure
Handle, netname and organisation are the same four characters: initials and a unit number.
What it's used for
- A regional education service agency's network. 3,072 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
208.94.40.0/21carries the netnameWIU7, identical to the handle the AS is filed under.- The lookup for
204.171.48.0/22failed. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The number is the agency's own designation, assigned by a state that carved its schools into numbered service regions decades ago. Networks named this way are legible to anyone inside the system and meaningless to everyone else, which describes most public sector naming.
- Two blocks, one upstream, nothing published. Sister agencies elsewhere in this same numbering scheme run dozens of BGP neighbours and announce large IPv6 estates, so the model does not determine the network. Whether an agency becomes a regional carrier or stays a single customer depends on decisions made locally and long ago.
- A
/21and a/22for a body serving a county's schools is generous space by present standards and normal for when it was granted. - Nothing answers a reverse lookup, which for a network full of school children is the right default and, in this range, an increasingly common one.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-22, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
