About this ASN.
AS31 is a legacy single-digit-era allocation registered under ARIN to the California Institute of Technology, and it remains a live campus/research network. It originates its flagship legacy class-B block 134.4.0.0/16 (registered 1989) plus 131.215.x and 192.12.19.0/24 ranges — about twelve IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix (~515 /24s of IPv4 and 65,536 /48s of IPv6) — taking transit from CENIC/CalREN (AS2152) and Cloudflare (AS13335), with roughly three peers. (Some snapshots also observe Los Nettos/AS226 as a transit path, so the exact transit set is snapshot-dependent.) The ARIN ASN RegDate of 1984-09-21 is the registry date (updated 2003-08-07). For triage this is a standard low-risk university allocation, actively routed via California research networks. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
