Summary
University System of Georgia (PeachNet)
education research legacy
PEACHNET-AS3479 belongs to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and serves PeachNet, the statewide network connecting Georgia's public colleges and universities.
What it's used for
- Backbone and internet connectivity for all University System of Georgia institutions — campus networks, research traffic, and the shared enterprise applications the system runs centrally.
- One of two adjacent ASNs PeachNet holds, alongside AS3480.
Notable
- An institutional education network rather than a commercial ISP. The very large IPv4 footprint (over a million addresses) reflects decades of university address allocations pooled under one state system, not a subscriber base.
- PeachNet operates on leased and owned fiber rather than buying commercial telecom services outright, which is how a state system of this size affords the bandwidth and redundancy it needs.
Interesting
- PeachNet underpins the University System's shared platforms — the statewide virtual library, the system-wide student, learning-management, and HR applications — so the network is a dependency for far more than raw campus internet access.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 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.
