Summary
Southern Adventist University
education research infrastructure
Two blocks, two netnames, and an IPv6 prefix from the range the registry hands out directly.
What it's used for
- A university's network. 8,192 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes plus one IPv6 prefix,
2620:0:2280::/48, with a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
216.229.224.0/20carries the netnameSAU-NETand216.249.112.0/20carriesSAU-NET2, both registered toSouthern Adventist UniversitywithITandabusecontacts.- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The IPv6 prefix comes from the range reserved for direct assignments to organisations rather than allocations to providers. A
/48from there is the smallest unit the registry hands out that way, and it means the university went and asked rather than taking whatever its upstream offered. - Two
/20s from ranges close enough to have been issued in the same era, numbered one and two, is a campus that grew once and stopped. There is no third block and no sign one was ever wanted. - A single neighbour on a network with its own AS number is the arrangement of an institution that wanted independent addressing more than it wanted multiple upstreams. Portable space survives a change of provider; a second provider costs money every month.
- Contacts listed as a department and a role, rather than named individuals, is how a small university IT office keeps its registry record from going stale when people leave.

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: 447 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
