Autonomous system
AS12541 LYNTIA_BB_AS Lyntia Networks. Backbone AS.
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Lyntia Networks
transit backbone telecom
Sixty-five BGP neighbours behind a single /24 — the clearest transit signature in this range.
What it's used for
- Wholesale transit and backbone. 256 addresses in one
/24, 65 observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The entire inventory is
212.163.8.0/24. Two hundred and fifty-six addresses, sixty-five neighbours. - Its netname is
TATA-IZO-LYNTIA-NETWORKS-IPv4-01, naming two companies and a service brand before it gets to what the block is. - The registry contacts are shared across four autonomous systems at once:
ADMIN for AS8903 AS12541 AS8239 AS202766.
Interesting
- Address count and neighbour count measure different things, and this is the extreme case. A network with 65 adjacencies and one
/24sells the adjacencies. Its own space is only what the routers themselves need; everything it carries belongs to somebody else. - The netname reads as a supply chain. IZO is Tata's managed-network product, Lyntia is the Spanish operator using it, and
-01says there was expected to be an-02. Three parties are visible in a field that has room for one name. - One contact object covering four AS numbers is how a carrier keeps its records maintainable. Change the contact once and every network answers correctly, which is the same instinct that produced role mailboxes instead of named engineers.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
