Summary
Auburn University
education university research legacy
AUBURN is the campus network of Auburn University, the land-grant research university in Auburn, Alabama.
What it's used for
- The full range of a university's networking: residence halls, classrooms and labs, faculty and staff offices, library and administrative systems, and research computing.
- Its announced space is a single class-B-sized block,
131.204.0.0/16: one clean 65,536-address range for the whole campus.
Notable
- An institutional address: an IP here belongs to a campus device, a lab, or a student's dorm connection. It maps to a university, not to a household or a hosting customer.
- The single-/16 shape is characteristic of universities that were allocated address space before IPv4 scarcity, and it makes the campus trivially easy to identify from routing data.
Interesting
- Auburn's Office of Information Technology holds the registration outright, so the university runs its own autonomous system rather than sitting behind a state or regional network's ASN. That is a common choice among large research campuses.
