Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Anycast
hosting legacy
A small network announcing a single block of RIPE-issued address space.
What it's used for
- One
/22of 1,024 addresses,185.224.168.0/22, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block is registered as
AL-3084— a registry-generated label rather than a descriptive netname. 185.0.0.0/8is RIPE space, while the AS itself is recorded against the United States.- One prefix, one neighbour, one announcement. There is no second path in the routing data.
Interesting
- The name describes a technique this inventory does not show. Anycast means announcing the same prefix from several places at once so that traffic reaches whichever instance is nearest, and it needs multiple announcements from multiple locations to mean anything. What is visible here is a single prefix reaching the internet through a single neighbour.
- That gap is worth holding lightly. Routing data shows what is announced where the collectors can see it, and a network can carry a name for what it intends, what it once did, or what it sells rather than what its current announcements demonstrate. The name is a claim; the routing table is an observation; they are not obliged to agree.

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 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
