New Zealand · AI-generated

education university nz

VUW-AS-AP is the autonomous system for Victoria University of Wellington.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university infrastructure, with all registrants identified as Victoria University of Wellington and netnames VUW-NZ or VUW.
  • The AS announces 11520 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a self-contained academic network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • All registrants in the evidence pack agree with the announcer, consistently listing IRT-VUW-NZ, VUW TECH, VUW ADMIN, and Victoria University of Wellington.
  • The inventory consists of a large /19 block alongside several smaller /24 and /23 allocations, all within the 130.195.0.0/16 range, plus a single /24 in 202.36.141.0/24.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-10, 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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
