Summary
Fast Enterprises
enterprise government legacy
Fast Enterprises writes the tax administration and motor vehicle software that US state agencies run on.
What it's used for
- Corporate and service delivery networking. 2,560 addresses across six prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- All six prefixes carry one netname,
FEL16, with no subdivision by site or function. - They also come out of one contiguous stretch: a
/22, a/23and four/24s, all between170.10.96.0and170.10.108.0. - Two neighbours against 2,560 addresses. The network exists to serve the company, not to carry anyone else's traffic.
Interesting
- Revenue systems are among the longest-lived software in government. A state replaces its tax administration platform roughly once a generation, in a multi-year project touching every tax the state collects, which is why a private company most people have never heard of ends up as a quiet dependency of state finance across much of the country.
- An address plan that stayed this simple says something about the business. Six prefixes and a single label means the company never had to hand address space to a division, a subsidiary or an acquisition, and the registry entry is one of the few public records that shows 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 2026-10-18, 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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
