Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Verizon Business
transit telecom isp
The AS handle names a pool of AS numbers rather than a network, and one netname carries the exact day it was issued.
What it's used for
- A carrier-held AS carrying customer space. 1,024 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
VRIS-AS-BLOCK, which names a reserved range of AS numbers rather than this one. 62.17.39.0/24is netnameIE-UUNET-20000321, a country code, a former carrier's name and a date.- Its registrant lists four entities: an incident response team, a national subsidiary, a registrar team and an abuse contact.
63.76.177.0/24is netnameUUNET63, the former carrier's name plus the first octet.- One address answered, as
node128.keyelectronics.com, a customer's own domain.
Interesting
- A handle meaning "block of AS numbers" is what happens when a carrier registers a range at once and never names the individual entries. The AS is identified by the batch it arrived in.
- The date in the country-coded netname records the day that assignment was made, under a carrier name that has been through two acquisitions since, and the object still carries both.
- The single reverse name belongs to the customer, not the carrier, so the routing says one company and the DNS says another. Both are correct about different things.

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 2026-11-11, 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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
