AS7965 Universidad Catolica Andres Bello

AS7965 belongs to the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB), a Jesuit

private university in Caracas, Venezuela, with a second campus in Guayana. It

carries the university's campus network.

What it's used for

• Campus internet access for UCAB students, faculty and administration.
• The university's own public services — rDNS in the space resolves under ucab.edu.ve (for example zeus.ucab.edu.ve and bboard.ucab.edu.ve), confirming the holder directly.

Notable

• The AS announces 200.2.8.0/21, deaggregated into its component /24s. That is a small, LACNIC-registered allocation — about 2,000 addresses — which is normal for a Latin American university and a reminder that a low AS number says nothing about network size.
• The address space is institutional, not eyeball. An IP here is a campus machine or a university server, not a home broadband line.

Interesting

• The ASN was registered in 1997, so UCAB has been running its own routed network — rather than sitting behind a provider's addressing — for essentially as long as commercial internet has existed in Venezuela.
