Summary

research education government
Every address is labelled by role in reverse DNS, and one of the broadcast labels names the wrong subnet.
What it's used for
- A public research centre for information and communication technology. 22,016 addresses across thirty-four IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- All eighteen sampled addresses answered, each prefixed
subnet-,brdcst-orhost-before the address. 200.38.161.255answers asbrdcst-200.38.160.255, naming a different subnet than the one it is in.- Netnames are the address range written out with a hyphen between the first and last address.
- Two prefixes failed their registry lookup, so nothing is known about their registration here.
- First seen in the routing archive on 2005-05-07, an actual date rather than the archive's start.
Interesting
- Labelling each address by its role in the subnet is generated documentation. It says where every boundary falls, so anyone reading the zone learns the subnet layout without probing for it.
- The mismatched broadcast label is the generator's arithmetic going wrong once, and it is only visible because the scheme is otherwise perfectly regular. A zone with arbitrary names would hide it.
- Netnames that are the range itself are the registry's own convention in this region, which makes the field a duplicate of the block and useless for saying who or what is inside it.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-13, 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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
