Summary
LONI
education research network louisiana
LONI is the AS handle for Louisiana Board of Regents/Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI).
What it's used for
- The space carries educational and research traffic, evidenced by the registrant name and the reverse DNS record
netbotz-mcneese.loni.orgpointing to a Louisiana State University system. - With 114,912 IPv4 addresses across 84 prefixes and 26 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a regional access network serving multiple institutions rather than a large-scale transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants are consistent with the announcer, with most prefixes held by Louisiana Board of Regents/Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI), though one prefix is registered to Nicholls State University.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /20 and /22 blocks, indicating site-by-site segmentation for individual campuses and facilities within the Louisiana higher education system.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
