Summary
University of Prince Edward Island
education university legacy
UPEI-AS is the University of Prince Edward Island, the province's public university in Charlottetown. AS7860 is its campus network.
What it's used for
- Campus connectivity for students, staff and researchers, carried entirely on one legacy Class B,
137.149.0.0/16, registered to the university in December 1989. - Reverse DNS is institutional from end to end and reads like a departmental map:
thor.cs.upei.caandstromasys-1.cs.upei.cain computer science,proxy.library.upei.caandislandpines-test.roblib.upei.caat the Robertson Library,external-smtp.upei.cafor mail, andldap.vre.upei.caon the virtual research environment. There is no subscriber-style addressing anywhere.
Notable
- This is university address space. A connection from it is far more likely to be a campus machine, a library proxy user or a research host than a home broadband user — the library EZproxy service in particular means scholarly-database traffic from students off campus can appear to originate here.
- The
-Zsuffix on the university's ARIN organisation handle is a records-cleanup artefact, not a sign the allocation changed hands. The 1989 registration is genuine and puts UPEI among the early Canadian academic networks.
Interesting
islandpinesin the library's reverse DNS is the Island Pines consortium catalogue, androblibis the Robertson Library — small details that make this AS unusually legible from the outside.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
