Summary
Meshnet
isp hosting business
Reverse DNS served from as12773.net — a network that named its domain after its own AS number.
What it's used for
- A Ukrainian provider with a heavily interconnected network. 1,792 addresses in five IPv4 prefixes, 57 observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Reverse names come from the AS number itself:
185.28.108.255answers asip-108-255.as12773.net. - Netnames record two countries:
UA-MESHNET-20080519andRU-MESHNET-20130613. - The
185.28.108.0/23registration names an individual alongside the company. - First observed in the routing archive in October 2002.
- Five of fifteen sampled addresses returned a name.
Interesting
- 57 neighbours against 1,792 addresses is the inverse of a subscriber network. This is a network that exists to interconnect: almost no address space, and peering with everyone it can reach. Networks in this shape usually live at exchange points, where the cost of one more peer is close to nothing once you are in the room.
- Registering a domain that is literally your AS number is a small act of honesty. Reverse names usually advertise a brand; this one advertises the routing identity, which is what anybody looking up an address in these blocks actually wants to know.
- The country prefixes on the two netnames differ. Blocks are filed under the country the applicant gave at the time, and a provider that operated on both sides of a border in 2008 and 2013 leaves that history in the registry whatever happened afterwards.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 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.

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.
