Summary
Western Washington University
education research isp
Eighty thousand addresses, and the residential network is named apart from the rest.
What it's used for
- A university network. Two IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, with two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The IPv4 space is a legacy
/16alongside a/18, together more than eighty thousand addresses. - The two blocks carry different netnames: one marks the institution, the other marks the student residential network, so the registry separates dormitory traffic from campus traffic.
- Both registrant fields append an operations centre handle after a semicolon.
- The single IPv6 announcement is a
/48, the smallest generally routed size, against eighty thousand IPv4 addresses. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Naming the residential network separately in the registry is genuinely useful, and rare. It tells an abuse handler which complaints concern students in halls and which concern university systems, before anyone has to ask.
- A
/48of IPv6 for a university with a/16of IPv4 is a token allocation. It is enough for one site's worth of subnets, which suggests IPv6 here is a pilot rather than the campus network. - Two upstreams for a university of this size usually means research and commodity traffic take different paths, and the registry gives no way to tell which is which.

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 2026-10-22, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
