Summary
Konkuk University
education university research legacy
AS9459 (ASKONKUK) is held by Konkuk University (건국대학교), a private research university with its main campus in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul and a second campus in Chungju. This is the university's own campus network AS, carrying students, faculty, research groups and the institution's public services.
What it's used for
RIS observes 52 IPv4 prefixes totalling 23,552 addresses and just 2 BGP neighbours. No IPv6 is announced.
Two upstreams on 23,552 addresses is decisive: this is an end-site, not a carrier. A wholesale network with this much space would peer with dozens or hundreds of ASes; a university peers with its national research-and-education network and perhaps one commercial backup, which is what two neighbours looks like.
The prefix list tells the campus story. The anchor is 203.252.128.0/19 with a /21 and several /23s alongside it, and then the announcements fan out across four other unrelated ranges — 210.119.x, 117.16.x, 114.70.x, 113.198.x and a 103.218.160.0/22-sized cluster — mostly as individual /24s. That pattern is what a long-lived institution accumulates: an original classful-era allocation, then extra blocks obtained piecemeal over the years as departments, dormitories, a second campus and research facilities came online. Fifty-two announcements for 23k addresses means heavy deaggregation, which universities commonly do to route different faculties, buildings or campuses independently.
Notable
- The address space spans at least five distinct Korean allocations rather than one contiguous block, consistent with growth over time rather than a single assignment.
- No IPv6 is visible in RIS from this AS, which is notable for a research university in a country with otherwise strong IPv6 deployment.

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 2026-10-11, 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: 431 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.
