Summary
Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá
education research legacy
The network of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá (UTP), Panama's public technological university.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for UTP's faculties and regional centres: teaching, research, and administration.
- Hosting NIC Panamá, the registry UTP has operated since 1994 for Panama's
.pacountry-code top-level domain, including the.pazone's DNS and WHOIS.
Notable
- Academic address space (roughly 62,000 IPv4 addresses) — a notably large institutional allocation for a single university, reflecting UTP's early and central role in Panamanian internet infrastructure.
- Institutional users (students, staff, researchers) rather than subscribers.
Interesting
- A university running its country's ccTLD is a hallmark of the early internet: in many countries the first organisation with a working IP link inherited the national domain registry, and often still holds it.

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: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
