Summary
University of Alaska
education research legacy
The statewide University of Alaska system (ALASKA), whose flagship campuses are in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau.
What it's used for
- Campus, research and administrative networking for the University of Alaska.
- Announces the legacy
137.229.0.0/16block, historically the University of Alaska Fairbanks network, plus a/18of provider-independent space.
Notable
- The handle
ALASKAis a trap: this is the university system, not Alaska Communications, the state's incumbent telco, which holds AS7782. Addresses here are institutional, not consumer broadband. - Registered with ARIN in January 1997, and the
/16predates that — typical of a university that connected early and kept its class-B assignment.
Interesting
- Alaska's geography makes university networking unusually infrastructure-heavy: the system links campuses and research sites spread across a state larger than the next three combined, and supports Arctic and geophysical research programs.

Interconnection

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 2026-11-03, 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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
