Summary
Toronto Metropolitan University
education university campus canada
RYERSON-UNIVERSITY is the autonomous system for Toronto Metropolitan University.
What it's used for
- The address space carries the university's internal network, identified by the netname
RYERSON-U-NETWORKacross all three announced prefixes. - The AS announces 65,536 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an institutional access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants align with the announcer, listing Toronto Metropolitan University for every prefix in the inventory.
- The operator was formerly known as Ryerson University; the AS handle
RYERSON-UNIVERSITYreflects this historical name prior to the institution's rebranding. - The inventory consists of three contiguous IPv4 blocks within the 141.117.0.0/16 range, with no IPv6 prefixes currently announced.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-10, 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.
