AS14192 CARTHA-ASN - Carthage College
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Carthage College
education research infrastructure
A liberal arts college with one upstream and a tidily numbered set of records.
What it's used for
- A college campus network. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The netnames run
CC-IPNET,CC-IPNET-2andCC-IPNET-3, with the last covering two of the four blocks. - All four are registered directly to the college with no role contact named.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The AS first appeared in routing on
2000-08-18.
Interesting
- The unnumbered record came first and each later one took the next number, which makes the netnames a record of the order the college acquired its space. Nobody planned that as documentation, but it is the closest thing to a history these blocks have.
- One observed upstream is unusual for an institution that runs its own AS. The usual reason to take a number at all is to speak to more than one carrier, so a single neighbour suggests a research network connection that the collector sees as one relationship rather than two commercial links.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS is a modern choice for a campus. Colleges once named every machine in a residence hall, which told anyone scanning exactly where the unpatched student laptops were, and most have stopped.
- Four separate announcements for four blocks from three unrelated ranges is the cost of decades of small allocations.

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.
