Unclassified ARIN
Summary
BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT 403
education government infrastructure
The handle carries two numbers, and neither of them is the AS number.
What it's used for
- A school district's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is three initials, the district's own three-digit number, the three letters for an autonomous system number, and then a further three-digit counter.
- That second number matches nothing else in the record, and the AS number itself never appears.
- The single block is registered not to the district but to a statewide cooperative for school information processing, under a netname of that body's five initials and the word for a network.
- The registrant field lists a second contact named for the management of addresses, a function rather than a person.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A cooperative holding the address space for a member district is how small public bodies get network services: one organisation runs the paperwork, the routing and the support for many districts at once.
- Two numbers in one handle, one meaningful and one not, is what happens when a naming scheme leaves room for a counter and nobody records what it counts.
- Four thousand addresses for a district is generous by modern standards and unremarkable for an early allocation, when a classroom of machines needed one address each.

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 2026-10-19, 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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
