Summary
MetaPeer
hosting transit business
The reverse names carry the subnet mask, and mark broadcast addresses with a two-letter suffix.
What it's used for
- A United States hosting and connectivity provider. 5,888 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 prefixes, and nineteen observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Sampled names read
162-249-17-0-27.subs.metapeer.comand208-93-89-0-25.subs.metapeer.com, where the trailing number is the prefix length rather than part of the address. 208-93-89-128-25-bc.subs.metapeer.comadds abcsuffix on the last address of its block.- Two sampled addresses answered in a customer's own domain instead.
- Netnames are
METAP-1,METAPEER,NET-207-229-71-0-1, plusCORTLAND-BLK4andREDWOOD-DESIGNregistered to two other companies.
Interesting
- Publishing the mask in the hostname is genuinely useful and almost unheard of. Anyone looking at one address learns how big the block around it is and where its boundaries are, without a registry query. The
bcmarker then says this particular address is the broadcast address and will not answer like a host. - The addresses that answer in a customer's own domain sit in a block registered to yet another company, so three parties are visible on one /24: who holds it, who runs it and who uses it.
METAP-1on three non-adjacent blocks is a label describing the holder rather than the allocation, and the generatedNET-netname beside it shows the registry filling the same field two ways within one network.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
