Summary
Mahasarakham University
education university research legacy
AS9562 (MSU-TH-AP) is registered to Mahasarakham University, a public university in Maha Sarakham province in Thailand's northeastern Isan region. It is the campus network AS of a single institution, not a service provider.
What it's used for
The routing evidence is exactly the shape of a university campus: four IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses, all four contiguous /24s out of 202.28.32.0/22, plus a single IPv6 /48 (2001:3c8:a701::/48). The 202.28.0.0/16 range is APNIC space long associated with Thai academic institutions. Only two BGP neighbours are observed, which tells you this is an edge network rather than a carrier: it buys connectivity and originates its own space, and nothing transits through it. A thousand addresses is a small footprint for a university with two campuses and tens of thousands of students, which is the usual sign that the campus runs its user population behind NAT and reserves the public space for servers, mail, web, VPN concentrators and library resources.
Notable
- Mahasarakham University operates a Downtown Campus and the larger Kham Riang Campus in Kantharawichai district, along with academic service centres elsewhere in the northeast.
- The IPv6
/48under2001:3c8::/32is consistent with an allocation received through Thailand's national research and education networking arrangements rather than a commercial ISP. - With two upstreams and a handful of prefixes, the AS exists mainly so the university can multi-home and keep its addressing stable across provider changes.

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 2026-10-13, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
