Summary
Indiana GigaPOP
education research backbone
The AS handle INDIANAGIGAPOP is held by Indiana University.
What it's used for
- The address space carries university and research infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as
INDIANA-GIGAPOP-17and registrant records for Indiana University. - With 21,820 IPv4 addresses and 27 IPv6 prefixes announced against 16 observed neighbours, the inventory suggests a large-scale academic backbone or research network rather than a small access provider.
Notable
- All sampled registrants are Indiana University, matching the AS holder and confirming a single-organisation estate.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into 134 IPv4 prefixes, consistent with site-by-site segmentation for a large institutional network.

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 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
