Summary
Occidental College
education research infrastructure
One block, one announcement, and a registry lookup that failed, leaving the routing table as the only thing that will say anything about it.
What it's used for
- A liberal arts college's campus network. 65,536 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix,
134.69.0.0/16, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The registry lookup for that one block failed, so no netname or registrant was retrieved. That is a failed fetch rather than an empty record.
- The AS handle is
OXY-AS. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The routing archive has carried it since the archive began.
Interesting
- With the registry silent and the reverse tree silent, everything known about this network comes from the routing table: one prefix, announced whole, reachable through two providers. It is a useful reminder of how little the public record is obliged to say.
- The handle is the college's nickname rather than its initials. Handles are the one field an applicant picks freely, and an institution with a shorter name it actually uses will reach for that instead of the formal one.
- A sixteen-bit block announced as a single prefix means nothing inside has ever needed to be reached on its own terms. Small campuses that grew in one place produce the simplest routing footprint there is.
- Two neighbours is the minimum that survives one provider failing, and for a college that is usually the whole design brief.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-17, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
