Summary
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Maidstone)
enterprise business hosting
One company, four jurisdictions: a UK site name, a French registrant, and a US netname holder.
What it's used for
- A regional site network of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. 2,560 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every prefix sits inside
16.0.0.0/8, one of the legacy class-A blocks, scattered as far apart as16.1.33.0/24and16.240.11.0/24. - All six carry the single netname
HPE-15, registered to the United States parent company. - The AS is held by the French entity, the announced blocks are recorded against France, and the handle reads
HPE Maidstone, UK. - Eighteen addresses were sampled and none answered.
Interesting
- Four places appear in one record and none of them contradicts the others. A multinational registers address space centrally, holds AS numbers through whichever legal entity was convenient, and operates them at sites named after towns. Geolocating any of this from the registry alone would give a different answer depending on which field was read.
- A single netname covering an entire legacy
/8means the registry sees one assignment where the routing table sees six scattered fragments. The/8predates the practice of registering each block separately, so internal structure lives in the company's own records rather than in anything public. - Six prefixes spread across a
/8is what an enterprise looks like when it carves site networks out of a block far larger than it needs.

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 2026-11-04, 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: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
