Summary
Universidad Veracruzana
education university research legacy
The Universidad Veracruzana is a large public university in the Mexican state of Veracruz, with its main campus in Xalapa and regional campuses across the state.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for teaching, research and administration across the university's multiple regional campuses.
- Announces around 45,000 addresses, essentially all of
148.226.0.0/16sliced into more than 170 mostly-/24prefixes — a de-aggregated legacy Class B.
Notable
- Reverse DNS resolves under
uv.mx(for examplens2.uv.mx), the university's own domain. - The heavy de-aggregation of a single
/16into scores of/24announcements is typical of a multi-site institution that routes each campus or faculty network separately rather than as one summarised block.
Interesting
- A full
/16and a four-digit AS number reflect how early Mexico's large public universities connected — they were among the first organisations in the country on the internet, and were allocated address space accordingly.

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 2026-10-13, 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: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
