Summary
University of Ioannina
education university research legacy
The University of Ioannina (UOI), a public university in Epirus, north-western Greece. The AS carries the campus network and its departmental subnets.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for faculties, labs, libraries and administration: reverse DNS on the announced space resolves to departmental hosts such as
pc-1.econ.uoi.gr,pc-1.med.uoi.grandpc1.math.uoi.gr. - Network operations infrastructure sits under
noc.uoi.gr(mq.noc.uoi.gr,ifw.noc.uoi.gr), the university's own NOC. - Around 9,500 IPv4 addresses across seven prefixes, plus IPv6.
Notable
- The address space is a mix of
195.130.x,195.251.xand83.212.xblocks, the last of which is GRNET (the Greek Research and Technology Network) space, consistent with a Greek university connected through the national research network. - One announced /24 carries
wwwserver.ioa.teiep.grreverse DNS, from the former Technological Educational Institute of Epirus, which was merged into the University of Ioannina in 2019. The routing still reflects that merger.
Interesting
- With a single observed neighbour, the AS is effectively single-homed to the research network rather than multi-homed to commercial transit, which is typical for an NREN-connected campus.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-24, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
