AS6531 COFFEYCAN - Burlington USD #244
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Burlington USD #244
education government legacy
COFFEYCAN is registered to Burlington Unified School District #244 in Burlington, Kansas — the county seat of Coffey County. The handle reads as "Coffey County Area Network", and the AS behaves like a shared public-sector network rather than a single school's uplink.
What it's used for
- Announcing a single ARIN
/24(198.186.144.0/24), which is also registered to the school district. - Reverse DNS across that block resolves under
coffeycountyks.org, the Coffey County government domain, in a flatip-198-186-144-Npattern. The school district holds the registration; the addressing is used across county-area public entities.
Notable
- This is a K-12 institutional network, not a service provider. A single
/24and generically templated rDNS are the signature of an organisation that needed routable space and multihoming, not of one selling connectivity. - Rural US counties frequently pool network resources across the school district, the county government and the local library, because none of them individually justifies a separate autonomous system. The registrant on paper is often whichever entity did the paperwork.
Interesting
- The ARIN organisation and ASN records both trace to Burlington, Kansas, a town of a few thousand people. Small institutions like this run their own AS mainly to hold their address space independently of any one upstream carrier.

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: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
