AS3783 AIU-ALLEGHENY-CONNECT-RWAN

AIU-ALLEGHENY-CONNECT-RWAN belongs to the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU), a

public educational service agency serving the school districts of suburban

Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, around Pittsburgh.

What it's used for

• The regional wide-area network ("Allegheny Connect") that links member school districts: internet access, shared services, and inter-district connectivity for K-12 schools.
• Announces a small legacy IPv4 footprint, on the order of a couple of thousand addresses.

Notable

• K-12 education address space, aggregated. An intermediate unit is a middle layer of Pennsylvania's school system that buys and operates services on behalf of many districts at once, so traffic from this ASN comes from schools rather than from a single institution or from consumers.
• Schools reached through this network sit behind district firewalls and content filtering, which makes the traffic profile distinctly different from a university's.

Interesting

• It shares its AS-number neighbourhood with a run of Pennsylvania higher-ed networks — [AS3778](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS3778) (Temple University), [AS3782](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS3782) (Swarthmore College) — a reminder that the state's education networks, K-12 included, came online as a cohort.
