Summary
Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM)
education university research legacy
The Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey — Tec de Monterrey — one of Mexico's largest and most prominent private universities.
What it's used for
- Campus networking, research, and administration across ITESM's multi-campus system, which spans dozens of sites throughout Mexico.
- Announces a substantial block of legacy IPv4, reflecting an early and generous allocation to the institution.
Notable
- ITESM was a pioneer of internet connectivity in Mexico: the university was among the first organizations in the country to establish an internet link, and for years its network carried much of Mexican academia's traffic.
- The number falls inside an ARIN-administered block but is now managed by LACNIC — a leftover of the early-registry transfers that moved Latin American resources to LACNIC when it was created.

Classification and threat
Education University, school or national research and education network.
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
