Summary
Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services (ITS)
government legacy
The state government network of Mississippi (MISSISSIPPI-STATE-GOVERNMENT), run by the Department of Information Technology Services in Jackson, the central IT agency for the state.
What it's used for
- Connectivity for Mississippi state agencies, boards and commissions.
- Public-sector education networking: reverse names in the space resolve under
k12.ms.us, indicating the network also carries traffic for the state's K-12 school systems. - Announces around nine prefixes, a mix of legacy
192.x/24s and larger69.60.32.0/19and216.229.192.0/19blocks.
Notable
- Reverse DNS is unambiguously institutional (
itsd.state.ms.us,mde*.k12.ms.us). There are no dial-up, DSL or CGNAT-style subscriber names, so this is a government enterprise network rather than a consumer ISP, even though it serves a large user population. - ITS is a consolidated state IT provider, so a single AS fronts what would be many separate networks in states that do not centralize.
Interesting
- State-government ASNs like this are a quiet feature of the low four-digit range: several US states registered their own AS during the mid-1990s wave of public-sector internet connections.

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 2026-11-05, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
