Using this nifty webpage here I discovered today that the University I attend has a huge stake in the internet as far as IP addresses go. I wonder what the story behind that is.
That block of the map is kind of mislabeled. The whois data for those IPs say it belongs to Amateur Radio Digital Communications, a ham radio network. The main nameserver and some organizational stuff is hosted by UCSD (hamradio.ucsd.edu), but the domains for servers in that block actually go to *.ampr.org

have you tried this off-campus? maybe it's possible that so much of the map is UCSD just because all the things in our firewall are UCSD?

I did try that off campus.
So the next question is, why does ampr.org need so much of that block?
