Summary
City of Richardson
government enterprise legacy
CITYOFRICHARDSON-AS is the municipal network of the City of Richardson, Texas, a Dallas-area suburb. It is a small, self-contained government network: three /24s, 768 addresses, and a single observed BGP neighbour.
What it's used for
City-government IT. Richardson holds and announces its own address space rather than sitting entirely on a provider's, which is common for a mid-sized US city that runs public-safety dispatch, utility billing, traffic systems and a public-facing web presence and wants portable addressing across upstream contracts. The reverse DNS on the sampled addresses lands under cor.gov and cor.net (cor = City Of Richardson), naming a Barracuda security appliance and a test host: first-party municipal infrastructure, not customer or hosting space.
Notable
All three prefixes (198.17.195.0/24, 199.233.119.0/24, 192.231.41.0/24) are registered in ARIN directly to the City of Richardson, under three separate network handles. Registrant, announcer and reverse-DNS zone all agree, which is the cleanest form of evidence that this is a genuine end-site operator and not space parked or leased under a municipal name.
The single observed neighbour is the giveaway on role: the AS takes transit from one upstream and provides none. It exists for provider independence and multihoming headroom, not to move anyone else's traffic. A wholesale carrier of any size would show tens to hundreds of peers.
Interesting
Richardson is the historic heart of the "Telecom Corridor" north of Dallas, so the city's own network being this modest is a pleasant contrast with the fibre density around it.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-22, 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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
