Education ARIN
Summary
Kentucky Educational Computing Network (KECNet)
education legacy
KECNet (KEC-NET), the Kentucky Educational Computing Network, administered through the University of Louisville's communications services group.
What it's used for
- Networking for Kentucky educational institutions — campus, instructional, and administrative traffic rather than commercial service.
Notable
- A state-level education network: the address space belongs to schools and institutional users, not to residential subscribers.
- Registered with ARIN in 1994, from the era when state and regional academic networks were being stitched into the internet.
Interesting
- Networks like KECNet were the on-ramp for many US institutions in the early 1990s, when a university consortium — rather than a commercial ISP — was the usual way a school got connected.

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 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
