Summary
Palomar Community College District
education university legacy
PCCD is the network of the Palomar Community College District, a public community college district headquartered in San Marcos, California, serving northern San Diego County.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for Palomar College and the district's education centers: classrooms and labs, student and staff services, and the district's public web presence.
- Announces a small set of legacy
/24s out of205.153.156.0/22, a192.30.115.0/24, and an IPv6/48.
Notable
- Community colleges rarely hold their own ASN; most sit behind a state or regional education network. Palomar's dates to 1996, when running your own autonomous system was a more ordinary thing for a campus to do.
- The address space is institutional — faculty, staff and campus services — not a consumer access network.
Interesting
- The ASN sits in a tight 1996 registration run alongside several unrelated American networks, a reminder that low AS numbers were handed out sequentially as requests arrived rather than reserved for anyone important.

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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
