A couple of fun facts about this guy:

His little ISP is AS267, which is a SHOCKINGLY low number. That's like.. the ISP equiv of a 4 digit slashdot id, or owning something like sodapop.com.

He's also one of the authors of RFC 5575, which is a pretty big deal in the DDoS world.

My university’s is number 2; is there any significance to that?

(Not the guy you replied to, but) it's not, unless I am missing it. ASN 2 is University of Delaware. You can search for yourself at whois.arin.net, just type a number in the search bar in the upper right.
