Summary
City of Spokane
government infrastructure business
A city's own address space, one netname across all of it, cut into five overlapping announcements.
What it's used for
- A municipal government's network. 4,608 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every prefix is netname
NETBLK-SPOKANE-CITY, registered to the city with a second contact called simplyNetwork. - The five announcements are a /21, two /22s and two /24s, all within
198.1.32.0upward. - Fifteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Address space in
198.1was handed out early, when a city could ask for a block and get one. A municipality holding its own space rather than renting from a carrier is the mark of a network built before that stopped being easy, and kept since because giving it back is not worth the renumbering. - Splitting contiguous space into five announcements when they all leave through the same two neighbours is usually the residue of separate departments or sites that were connected at different times, each with its own piece, never merged back into one route.
- A contact named
Networkwith no person attached is how a long-lived organisation avoids the record going stale every time somebody changes jobs.

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 2026-10-16, 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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
