Summary

RWTH Aachen University

Germany · AI-generated

education research university

The AS handle RWTH-AS is held by RWTH Aachen University.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university and research infrastructure, evidenced by netnames such as RWTHPHYS, ACHSE, ACHSES, RWTH-INFO, and DE-RWTHAACHEN-20181030.
  • The inventory includes 265,216 IPv4 addresses across 11 prefixes and 4 IPv6 prefixes, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating an access or internal network role rather than transit.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of university staff, students, and research endpoints, including specific allocations for the Aachen University of Applied Sciences (FHAC-LAN) and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FRAUNHOFER-INTRANET-96, FRAUNHOFER-NET-ILT-11).

Notable

  • Registrants align with the announcer for most prefixes, listing RWTH Aachen University and IRT-DFN-CERT, while specific blocks are registered to Aachen University of Applied Sciences and Fraunhofer Netzzentrum.
  • The address inventory is a mix of large /16 blocks and smaller /22 to /24 prefixes, reflecting a segmented internal estate for different departments and partner institutions.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, 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: 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.
