Summary

Bethel University

United States of America · AI-generated

education business university

BETHEL-ASN1 is operated by Bethel University.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries the university's internal network, identified by the netname BETHEL-UNIVERSITY and registrant Bethel University.
  • The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (50.150.217.0/24) with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained campus network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of web endpoints, administrative services, and research infrastructure for the university's faculty, staff, and students.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant Bethel University matches the AS handle holder, confirming consistent ownership.
  • The institution was formerly known as Bethel College, officially changing its name to Bethel University in 2019.
  • The inventory consists of a single /24 block, typical for a mid-sized educational institution managing its own IP space.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-04, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
