Summary
Backbone Networks Europe
business isp
A company whose netname is its own name translated into Finnish, next to a block called BITFOAM.
What it's used for
- Connectivity in Finland. 4,352 addresses in two IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
212.16.96.0/20is netnameFI-RUNKOVERKOT-990813;runkoverkotis Finnish for backbone networks, which is the company's name in English.91.207.79.0/24isFI-BITFOAM-20231002, registered to Clausal Computing Oy — a different company entirely.- The IPv6 announcements are
2a00:1c30::/32and2a13:5300::/29. - The AS handle is a street address:
BBNWKSCORE Tekniikantie 12. - Six sampled addresses were queried and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The same organisation is called Backbone Networks Europe on the holder line,
BBNWKSCOREin the AS handle, andRUNKOVERKOTin the netname. Three languages' worth of the same idea, all of them official, none of them cross-referenced by anything. - Tekniikantie runs through the technology campus in Espoo, and this is the second network in this stretch of the number range registered to that few square kilometres. Address blocks cluster around universities because that is where the first connections were.
- A 2023 netname on a
/24held by another company, alongside a 1999/20and a recent IPv6/29, is a small network assembled out of whatever was available in three different decades.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
