Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Universitatea de Medicina si Farmacie Timisoara
education research government
The netname is the university's entire name in hyphens, and the AS handle is its street address.
What it's used for
- A medical and pharmaceutical university's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Romania, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Both blocks carry the same netname, which spells the institution out word for word with hyphens between them, ending in the city. It is one of the longest netnames in this range.
- The AS handle is the short form of that name followed by the city again, a square and a house number, so the field that identifies a routing entity is carrying postal directions.
- The holder field adds a scholar's name in quotation marks, the honorific part of the university's official title, which neither of the other fields keeps.
- The registrant on both blocks is the abuse role of the national institute that acts as the local registry. The university itself is not listed as a contact anywhere.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Universities in countries with a central research network often hold their addresses through it rather than directly. The registry field names the operator who signs the paperwork, which is why an abuse role at a national institute appears where a campus hostmaster would be expected.
- Two blocks and two upstreams for a whole medical school is a reminder that campus networks mostly face inward. The teaching hospital's systems never need to be reachable from outside.

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 2026-10-15, 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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
