education university research wireless

MONASHUNI-AU-AS-AP is operated by Monash University.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries university campus infrastructure, with reverse DNS entries explicitly identifying staff and student wireless networks (e.g., wlan-staff-4-zero19.net.monash.edu.au, wlan-student-east-zero18.net.monash.edu.au) and specific faculty zones such as med-staff-cent-zero22.net.monash.edu.au and buseco-staff-south-zero22.net.monash.edu.au.
  • The AS announces 236,288 IPv4 addresses across 18 prefixes and 33 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 2 observed routing neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access network serving on-campus users rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of student and staff data, including wireless access points, virtual gateways, and dynamic IP assignments for university IT services.

Notable

  • All registrants in the RDAP data consistently identify Monash University, matching the AS handle and netnames such as MONASHUNI-AU and MONASHUNI-NET3.
  • The inventory is heavily subdivided, particularly within the 130.194.0.0/17 block, which is split into multiple smaller prefixes to support site-by-site segmentation across different university campuses and faculties.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
