Notable

ABANET Internet Service Provider, spelled out in full rather than abbreviated. - The registry holder is
ABANET Abaco Informatica S.r.l., putting the service brand ahead of the company that owns it. - The one block,
212.28.160.0/22, carries netnameABANETand registrantABANET NOC. - Present in routing data since the collectors' earliest records in August 2000.
Interesting
S.r.l.is the Italian limited company form, roughly the equivalent of a private limited company elsewhere. Its presence in a holder field is the difference between a trading name and a legal entity, and here both are in the same string.- Three neighbours and a single
/22describe a regional provider that buys transit from a small number of carriers and resells access locally. That was the shape of most national ISP markets in the late nineties, and the ones that survived either grew out of it or, like this, stayed exactly the size that worked.

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 2026-11-02, 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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. 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.
