The AS handle OTAGO-UNIVERSITY-AS-NZ-AP is held by The University of Otago.
What it's used for
- The address space carries university infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
OTAGOUNI-NZand reverse DNS entries likeou127255.otago.ac.nz. - The network announces 65,792 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes (139.80.0.0/16 and 202.27.239.0/24) with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a self-contained institutional network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of academic research, administrative office work, and student access to campus resources and global research networks.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes align perfectly with the announcer, listing "University of Otago; ITS Network Services Group" under the netname
OTAGOUNI-NZ. - The inventory is dominated by the large 139.80.0.0/16 block, with a single /24 prefix (202.27.239.0/24) providing additional address space.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
