Summary
Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)
education research legacy
POSTECH-AS-KR is the campus network of the Pohang University of Science and Technology, a research university in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.
What it's used for
- Campus, dormitory, and administrative networking for POSTECH students, staff, and faculty.
- Research computing and connectivity to Korea's national research and education networks.
Notable
- The AS announces roughly a /16 worth of IPv4 space (about 65,000 addresses), a typical institutional allocation rather than a commercial ISP footprint.
- POSTECH is a research-intensive science and engineering university and hosts large-scale scientific facilities, so a chunk of the traffic here is academic rather than general web browsing.
Interesting
- POSTECH sits in the same low-3000s ASN neighbourhood as several other Korean universities that connected early, such as AS3813 (Sogang University).

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 2026-10-27, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 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.
