Both blocks carry the same netname, so the record cannot tell them apart by name at all.
What it's used for
- A university network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Bulgaria, no IPv6, seven hundred and sixty-eight addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The netname on both blocks is the same five letters, the university's initials, with no country code, no date and no numeral. Most schemes add one of those to keep two blocks distinct; this one does not.
- The holder field drops the preposition from the university's name, so it reads as four subjects in a row. The registrant field on both blocks puts it back.
- The AS handle is those same initials, the letters for an autonomous system, and then a city name, so the routing label carries geography the netnames leave out.
- Three contacts sit on each block: the university, an abuse contact, and an administrative role whose label is an abbreviation cut off after two letters and a hyphen.
- The two blocks come from unrelated parent ranges, which is normal for a network that grew by asking twice rather than once.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A university with fewer than a thousand addresses and one upstream is running a campus, not a research backbone. The four disciplines in the name are the whole institution.
- Reusing one netname across every block is a small decision that costs nothing until someone tries to search the registry for a specific range.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
