Summary
Texas A&M University
education research legacy
TAMU is the network of Texas A&M University, the flagship land-grant research university in College Station, Texas.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for one of the largest universities in the United States: academic buildings, residence halls, research labs, and administration.
- Research and high-performance computing traffic, plus connectivity out to regional and national research networks.
Notable
- Announces roughly 131,000 IPv4 addresses (about two /16s), a large institutional allocation reflecting both the size of the student body and how early the university built out its network.
- Texas A&M's system extends well beyond the main campus, including engineering and agricultural extension agencies across the state.
Interesting
- A low four-digit AS number puts Texas A&M among the American universities that were on the internet's backbone networks well before commercial ISPs existed.

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 2026-10-20, 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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
