AS11688 LTSTREAM - Lightstream Communications, Inc.
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Lightstream Communications, Inc.
enterprise hosting legacy
LTSTREAM belongs to Lightstream Communications, Inc., a Salt Lake City, Utah managed services and telecom integrator (cloud, connectivity, voice, and security solutions sold to business customers). ARIN registers the ASN to Lightstream at 208 North 2100 West, Salt Lake City, with an ASN registration date of 2006.
What it's used for
- Almost nothing, in BGP terms. RIS sees a single /24 (
216.111.218.0/24, 256 addresses) and 2 observed neighbours. That is the routing footprint of a company that holds an AS number for multihoming a small corporate/service presence, not of a network carrying customers at scale.
Notable
- The one prefix registers to org Lightstream Communications, Inc. — self-registered space announced by the matching AS, which rules out the IP-leasing shape (that pattern needs several unrelated third-party registrants across multiple RIRs at once, and this has exactly one registrant, the holder).
- Lightstream's business is largely reselling and managing other people's platforms (cloud, carrier circuits, security), which explains the gap between a company of its size and a routed footprint of one /24: most of what it sells does not ride its own AS.
- No IPv6 is announced.
Interesting
- The name is heavily reused. Several unrelated "LightStream" operators exist, including a rural Indiana fibre cooperative and a Colorado ISP; the ARIN postal address is what ties this AS to the Utah company rather than to any of them.

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 2026-11-06, 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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. 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.
