AS14183 UALR-ASN
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
education research infrastructure
A sixteen-bit block of IPv4 next to the smallest IPv6 allocation a site can be given.
What it's used for
- A university's campus network. 65,536 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix,
144.167.0.0/16, plus one IPv6 prefix,2620:e8::/48, with one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The IPv4 block carries the netname
UALRNET, registered toUniversity of Arkansas at Little Rock. - The AS handle is
UALR-ASN. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The routing archive first saw this AS in 2008, decades after the IPv4 block was allocated.
Interesting
- The two prefixes come from opposite eras. The IPv4 range was handed out when a campus could ask for a sixteen-bit block and get one; the IPv6 range is a
/48, which is what a single site receives. In addresses the second is unimaginably larger, and in intent it is far more modest. - A
/48also means the campus went to a registry rather than taking space from its provider. That is a small act of independence: the block travels if the provider changes. - One neighbour for an entire university, holding both prefixes. State institutions commonly reach the internet through one shared education network, and the routing table cannot tell that apart from a single commercial provider.
- The block is announced whole and nothing answers a reverse lookup, so an address here gives up no building and no department.

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.
