Summary
Brigham Young University
education university legacy
BYU is the campus network of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
What it's used for
- Campus connectivity: teaching, research, administration, residence halls and university services.
- The AS announces BYU's classic
128.187.0.0/16along with a smaller assignment, plus IPv6.
Notable
- A full legacy
/16is the hallmark of an institution that received address space in the era when universities were allocated Class B networks directly. This is a genuine mid-1990s ARIN registration (1996), not a reissued number. - The abuse contact is the CES Security Operations Center, and one announced block carries the netname
ENSIGN-EDU-01. BYU's network security operations serve the wider Church Educational System, so the AS reaches beyond the Provo campus alone.
Interesting
- BYU's ARIN organisation handle ends in
-Z. That suffix is a legacy-cleanup artifact in ARIN's database, not evidence of a reassignment, and it pairs here with a real 1996 ASN registration.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 2026-10-20. 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.
