Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Ingram Book Group
business enterprise infrastructure
A book distributor's network: two blocks, one netname, and nothing published inside either.
What it's used for
- A book wholesaler and distributor's network. 1,280 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Both
198.183.164.0/22and198.252.232.0/24are netnameINGRAMBOOK, registered to the company. - Holder, registrant and netname all name the same organisation, with no former brand anywhere.
- The two blocks sit in different ranges, so they were acquired separately and named identically.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Book distribution runs on catalogue lookups and order feeds that bookshops and libraries hit constantly, so the network exists to keep an ordering system answering rather than to serve the public. Two upstreams and no public hostnames fit that exactly.
- A netname with no separator, no counter and no former company in it is unusual enough in this range to be worth noting. It says the space was registered once, by someone who had a name and used it.
- Announcing two prefixes from different ranges under one label is how a company that has been buying addresses for decades ends up looking tidy in the registry and scattered in the routing table.

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 2026-10-21, 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 2026-10-22. 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.
