Summary

finance business media
A financial data company's /24, netname LIM-NET, handle AS-NJ, and neither of them says the company's name.
What it's used for
- An investment research company's network. 256 addresses in one IPv4 prefix,
206.220.17.0/24, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block is netname
LIM-NET, registered to the company. - The AS handle is
AS-NJ, two letters that match no part of the registrant. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Both identifiers are inherited. A company that grows by buying data businesses ends up holding their address space, and the netnames keep naming the acquired firm long after the brand is retired. The handle looks like a location code from the same lineage.
- A single /24 for a company whose product is data means the product is delivered from somewhere else. Research and market data reach customers through hosted platforms and feeds; what needs its own routing is the corporate remainder.
- Two upstreams and no IPv6 is a network kept at exactly the size that stops anyone having to think about it, which is a reasonable outcome when the business does not depend on it.

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 2026-10-20, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
