TOP-IX4SCHOOLS is the AS for the TOP-IX4Schools project, operated by Consorzio TOPIX - Torino e Piemonte Exchange Point.
What it's used for

- The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix (194.116.112.0/21) with 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a small, specialized access or research network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of connectivity for schools and research institutions in the Turin and Piedmont region of Italy, facilitated by the TOP-IX exchange point infrastructure.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
