Summary
University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
education research infrastructure
A netname with a digit standing in for a word.
What it's used for
- A university's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
67.207.20.0/22carries the netnameITNET4UTRGV1, which reads as an information technology network for the university, numbered one.- The digit in the middle stands in for a word rather than counting anything.
- The AS handle repeats the AS number inside itself.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Text-message shorthand in a registry field is rarer than it should be, given how tightly these names are constrained. Somebody needed several words in twelve characters and reached for the trick everyone uses in a phone message, which works perfectly and looks startling in a database meant to outlive them.
- A handle containing its own AS number is redundant, since the number is the key the record is filed under. It happens when a name collides with one already taken and the number is the easiest thing to append.
- One upstream for a university is unusual and usually means the connection runs through a state or regional education network that the collector sees as a single relationship.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS is the modern choice for a campus, where the alternative is a public directory of every device on the network.

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 2026-10-24. 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.
