Internet Addressing: IP Address Standards at the University of Michigan

Applies to: All Departments and Units of the University

  1. Background

    The process of routing communications within the electronic environment requires that an addressing scheme be present at the network level. To accomplish routing from the Internet, an address, called an IP address, is assigned to an institution such as the University of Michigan. U-M, an organization that sends and receives millions of transactions over the Internet, has blocks of IP addresses assigned to it (IP 141.211, 141.212, and so on).

  1. Background

    When communications are received or sent between individuals, groups, institutions, or organizations on local networks, the Internet, or the World Wide Web, it is not only helpful but important to know the location of the individual from whom the communication was sent and his or her institutional affiliation. Without this information, assumptions can be made as to the affiliation, authorization, and/or association that are incorrect and perhaps misleading.

Identity Misrepresentation

Applies to: All Faculty and Staff

The University of Michigan is committed to the free and open exploration of knowledge. The authenticity of information and the context that surrounds it is of critical importance to the University’s mission. As a community, we care about ideas and their origin. Using someone else’s name or assuming someone else’s identity without appropriate authorization is a violation of academic integrity and community trust.
