Summary
NETSCOUT Systems, Inc.
enterprise legacy
NETSCOUT is registered to NETSCOUT Systems, Inc., the Westford, Massachusetts network-observability and DDoS-mitigation vendor behind the nGenius and Arbor product lines. It is a modest corporate network: RIS observes 11 announced IPv4 prefixes totalling roughly 2,816 addresses, one IPv6 /48, and 6 BGP neighbours.
What it's used for
Everything about the routing says corporate enterprise rather than service platform. The address count is tiny — under 3,000 addresses for a company with thousands of employees and global offices — and the announcements are eleven separate /24s spread across three unrelated ranges (216.130.192.0/2x, 199.171.208.0/2x, and a lone 192.42.252.0/24), which is what accumulates when a company grows by acquisition and inherits small legacy blocks. NETSCOUT absorbed Danaher's communications business in 2015, bringing in Arbor Networks, Fluke Networks, Tektronix Communications and VSS Monitoring, and discontiguous space of exactly this kind is the routing residue of that history.
Notable
Six observed neighbours is a multi-homed enterprise edge — enough upstreams for resilience, nowhere near the hundreds a transit carrier would show. Reverse DNS was sampled across 20 addresses and returned nothing; that is a sample, not a finding, and no conclusion is drawn from it here.
Interesting
There is a mild irony in a company whose business is watching other people's networks running a small, quiet, unremarkable one of its own. Its threat-intelligence platform observes traffic through customer deployments, not through this AS.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
6 upstream, 0 downstream and 7 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-04, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
