Unclassified RIPE Non-Profit
Summary
AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange)
backbone legacy
The administrative network of AMS-IX (AMS-IX NL Administrative network), the Amsterdam Internet Exchange, one of the world's largest internet exchange points.
What it's used for
- Management and administrative infrastructure for the exchange, separate from the member peering fabric itself.

Interesting
- The round AS number 1200 is a memorable early RIPE-era allocation.

Reputation
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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
