AS13684 ASN-MEDTRONIC-1
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Medtronic
enterprise business infrastructure
One /16 announced as thirty-five separate pieces, and a pair of IPv6 blocks at a prefix length almost nobody uses.
What it's used for
- A medical device manufacturer's network. 66,816 addresses across thirty-five IPv4 prefixes, two IPv6 blocks, and ten observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Nearly every IPv4 prefix sits inside
144.15, and all of them share the single netnameMEDTRONIC. - The pieces range from /19 down to /24 and are announced separately rather than as the whole.
- The IPv6 blocks are
2620:14a::/37and2620:14a:800::/37, an uncommon prefix length, and the two sit adjacent. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Splitting one allocation into thirty-five announcements is usually traffic engineering: different pieces leaving through different providers, with ten neighbours available to steer between. The cost lands on every router that carries the entries.
- Two adjacent blocks at the same odd prefix length are one larger block split down the middle, kept as two objects rather than one so each half can be routed on its own.
- A manufacturer of implantable devices publishing nothing in reverse DNS across sixty-six thousand addresses is consistent from the first block to the last, and the quietest large estate in this range of the routing table.

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.
Transit providers
12 upstream, 0 downstream and 14 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 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.
