Unclassified ARIN
Summary
SmartEdgeNet
hosting colo
A /24 whose netname records a Dallas data centre, a cage, and a customer that is not the announcer.
What it's used for
- Hosting and connectivity. 256 addresses in a single
/24with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The netname is
INAP-DAL-EXT1-EDGECOMM-162-217-13-0, five fields joined by dashes. - It names the facility operator, the city, a site or suite code, a customer name, and then the address itself.
- The registrant reads
Private Customer, so the name in the netname is the only party identified. - The AS holder is SmartEdgeNet LLC, which appears nowhere in the block's record.
Interesting
- This is a data centre's inventory system exposed through a public database.
INAPis the facility provider,DALis Dallas,EXT1is a site or expansion designation, andEDGECOMMis whoever took the cage. It is the kind of string that exists so a technician can find the right rack. - Appending the network address to a name that already identifies the customer is belt and braces, and it is what happens when the same label has to be unique across thousands of assignments in one facility.
Private Customeralongside a netname that names a company is the registry's privacy rule meeting a naming convention that was written before anyone thought of it as disclosure.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
