business enterprise finance
A single /23 under a carrier's netname, held by a company that processes payments for state governments.
What it's used for
- A payment processing company's network. 512 addresses in the single IPv4 prefix
208.236.200.0/23, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The block is netname
UU-208-236-200, a former carrier's prefix followed by the block's address. - The registrant is the company itself, so the space is theirs and the naming convention is not.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The AS number and the address block are the entire public footprint of this network.
Interesting
- A netname made of a carrier abbreviation and the address is the most common convention in this part of the table. It records who sold the space and where it sits, and nothing about who uses it, which is why the registrant field carries the whole burden of identification.
- Two upstreams for 512 addresses is a network built so that a single provider outage does not stop transactions. That priority is the reason a company outside the internet industry holds an AS number at all.
- Nothing in reverse DNS, from an organisation handling money on behalf of governments, is the arrangement to expect and still worth confirming rather than assuming.

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 2026-10-26, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
