Summary
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
research government business panama
AS27922 is operated by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
What it's used for
- The address space carries the network infrastructure for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, a scientific facility in Panama.
- The AS announces 3328 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained research network rather than a transit or large access provider.
Notable
- All three announced prefixes (160.111.232.0/21, 160.111.132.0/22, 160.111.230.0/24) are registered to the Smithsonian Institution with the netname SI, aligning the registrant with the AS holder.
- The address inventory consists of three distinct IPv4 blocks within the 160.111.0.0/16 range, all located in Panama, with no IPv6 prefixes 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 2026-10-27, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
