AS69

AS69 is a legacy allocation registered under ARIN to the University of Pennsylvania, specifically its Information Systems and Computing Network Engineering Lab in Philadelphia. RFC 1020 (1987) lists AS69 as "WHARTON-AS" (the Wharton School at UPenn), and the holder remains the University of Pennsylvania, so the historical association persists at the institutional level. UPenn also operates AS55 (UPENN, the main university network), and AS69 is the Network Engineering Lab ASN: as of June 2026 it announces exactly one IPv4 prefix (192.5.44.0/24, 256 addresses) and no IPv6, with a single BGP peer — AS55 (UPenn) — and imports from AS55 and AS10466; the single prefix is ROA-signed and RPKI-valid. The ARIN RegDate is 1986-04-10 (ARIN RDAP). For triage this is a small, clean university lab network that peers only with UPenn's main AS55. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
