Summary
British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT)
education legacy
BCIT is the campus network of the British Columbia Institute of Technology, a polytechnic institution based in Burnaby, British Columbia.
What it's used for
- Campus, teaching, and administrative networking across BCIT's Burnaby campus and its satellite locations in the Vancouver area.
- Serving students, faculty, labs, and residences.
Notable
- Institutional address space: BCIT announces
142.232.0.0/16plus a cluster of legacy192.68.x/24s — a sizeable holding reflecting an early connection to the Canadian academic internet. - BCIT's ARIN organization record dates to 1993, among the earlier Canadian institutions to register.
Interesting
- BCIT is a polytechnic rather than a research university, focused on applied and technical education — its network carries a heavy load of hands-on lab and trades-training traffic alongside ordinary campus use.

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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
