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.
