Summary
West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin (ZUT) — Academic Computer Centre
education research university legacy
ACI-EDU-AS is the Akademickie Centrum Informatyki (Academic Computer Centre) of the Zachodniopomorski Uniwersytet Technologiczny w Szczecinie — the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. The centre runs the university's network and the wider Szczecin academic metropolitan area network (MAN).
What it's used for
- Campus networking for ZUT: staff and student wired and wireless access, lab and research systems, and university services.
- Serving the Szczecin academic community more broadly. Reverse DNS across the space resolves to
zut.edu.pl,univ.szczecin.plandman.szczecin.pl, so the AS carries several Szczecin institutions, not just the technical university. - Uplink into Poland's national research backbone: hostnames such as
bgplu-szczecin.pionier.10gb.man.szczecin.plshow the MAN's PIONIER connection.
Notable
- An academic network, so addresses here belong to universities and their users rather than to a commercial ISP. Wireless pools carry
eduroamin the reverse name, the international academic roaming service. - The inventory is modest and institutional: a few large blocks including
212.14.0.0/19and82.145.64.0/19, plus IPv6, rather than scattered/24s. - Polish academic MANs like this one historically doubled as regional internet providers before the commercial market matured, which is why they hold sizeable classful-era address space.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
2 upstream, 1 downstream and 4 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
