Summary
Austin Community College
education research infrastructure
Reverse names are the address as twelve digits with no separators, and two still say dial-up.
What it's used for
- A community college network. Five IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6
/48announced from the United States, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Most answering addresses are named with a single letter followed by the whole address, every octet padded to three digits and run together, giving twelve digits in one unbroken label.
- Two others are named for a serial line dial-up protocol with a port number, a technology retired decades ago and still described in the college's zone.
- Two of the five blocks are registered to a state university system under netnames naming a shared education network.
- The college's own blocks use three different netname formats, one with a counter, one hyphenated, one with an abbreviation for network block.
- Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and eight returned a name.
Interesting
- Twelve unbroken digits is machine friendly and human hostile. It parses only if you know the padding rule, and it is the least readable address encoding in this range.
- The dial-up names date the zone better than any registry field. Somebody generated them for a modem pool, the pool went away, and the records outlived it.
- Blocks held by a state system inside a college's routing is how public education networks are usually built: the system holds the address space, the institution announces its own share.

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 2026-10-22. 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.
