Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Murray State University
education research infrastructure
Two adjacent blocks, one netname naming a state education network, and nothing else on the record.
What it's used for
- A university's network. 12,288 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. First seen in 2008.
Notable
216.249.144.0/20carries the netnameKECN-1, registered toMurray State University.- The lookup for
216.249.160.0/19failed, so nothing is known about that record. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two prefixes from the same range, one twice the size of the other, is an institution that came back for more space and got it next door. That is the tidiest outcome a second request can have, and it became rare once free address space ran short.
- A netname that abbreviates a network rather than the university suggests the space arrived through a state-level education network rather than directly from the registry. The label records who handed it over, not who uses it.
- Nothing in the sample answered a reverse lookup, which for a campus network usually means the student and staff address ranges live elsewhere in the estate, or the zone was never delegated.
- First appearing in the routing table in 2008 puts this AS well after the ones around it. The university had addresses long before it had its own place in the routing table, and got one when multiple upstreams made it worth the trouble. Three neighbours today say that is exactly what happened.

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 2026-10-25, 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: 443 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.
