About this ASN.
AS25 is the University of California, Berkeley's campus network ASN, an original 1984 allocation registered under ARIN to UC Berkeley's IST–Telecommunications. Berkeley holds a central place in early Internet history as the home of BSD Unix, which carried the reference TCP/IP implementation that propagated across the early Internet, making this a number with genuine heritage behind a routine modern campus network. As of June 2026 it originates about a dozen IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes (~202,000 IPv4 addresses), and it is effectively single-homed via CENIC/CalREN (AS2152/AS2153), California's research-and-education backbone. For triage this is a clean, long-established academic allocation: encountering it indicates UC Berkeley campus space, with abuse handled through the university's security team. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
