Summary
James Cook University
education university research
The AS handle JCU-AS-AP is held by James Cook University.
What it's used for
- The space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
vlan1501.jcu.edu.auand the netnameJCU-AU. - The inventory consists of a single IPv4 prefix, 137.219.0.0/16, totaling 65536 addresses, with 0 IPv6 prefixes announced.
- With only 1 observed neighbour, the low ratio of addresses to peers indicates an internal academic network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
IRT-JCU-NET-AUand netnameJCU-AUalign perfectly with the announcer, confirming direct ownership by the university. - The address inventory is a single contiguous /16 block, typical for a large institutional campus network.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, 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 2026-10-17. 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.
