Summary
Rhode Island Network for Educational Technology
education research infrastructure
Five prefixes, five different owners, and one of them is a single middle school.
What it's used for
- An education network serving schools and colleges in one state. 5,120 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
216.19.112.0/20is registered toCommunity College of Rhode Island,192.124.153.0/24toBryant University,198.7.229.0/24toOSHEAN, Inc.and199.184.247.0/24toPark View Middle Schoolwith a contact entry readingFCGNET NOC.158.123.221.0/24is registered toState of Rhode Islandunder the netnameRI, two letters long.- Three of fifteen sampled addresses returned names of the form
host-198-7-229-64.oshean.org.
Interesting
- Every announcement belongs to somebody else. This AS exists to carry other institutions' address space, so its routing table reads as a membership roster: a community college, a university, the state itself, a research network, and one middle school.
- That middle school holding its own registered
/24is a survival from an era when a single school could ask for a whole/24of public addresses and be given it. Nobody would grant it today, and nobody has taken it back. - A two-letter netname is as short as the field goes. It was filed when the state was early enough to claim its own postal abbreviation and nothing else needed distinguishing.
- One neighbour means the whole consortium reaches the internet through a single upstream.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
