Summary
IT.Gate
transit isp hosting
2,097 observed BGP neighbours — the most of any network in this sweep by a factor of four.
What it's used for
- An Italian transit and hosting network. 47,104 addresses across 23 IPv4 prefixes, six IPv6 prefixes, and 2,097 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The largest blocks are
213.212.128.0/18,212.110.32.0/19and213.254.0.0/19. - Its own netnames span
IT-ITGATE-990610,IT-ITGATE-19991105,IT-ITGATE-20000412,IT-ITGATE-20060920andIT-ITGATE-20140528. - Other blocks are registered to
MOVIMATICA Srl(IT-RETEITALY-20070410) andEurologon Srl(IT-EUROLOGON-20080616,IT-EUROLOGON-20150428). - Reverse names embed the address backwards:
213.254.8.0answers as0.8.254.213.static.dsl.itgate.net.
Interesting
- Over two thousand neighbours puts this network in a different category from everything around it. A count that high is not peering in the ordinary sense; it is a network that other people's networks connect through, which is what a national transit provider looks like when its customers each run their own AS.
- Two netname formats sit in the same holder's records:
990610uses a two-digit year, while19991105, five months later, uses four. The registry changed convention mid-stream and never rewrote what came before, so one company's own paperwork preserves the moment it happened. - Blocks registered to unrelated Italian companies are announced from here under their own names and dates. A transit network's inventory is partly its customers', and the registry is where the distinction survives.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
