AS13892 BIPERFORMANCE-ASN
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
BI
business enterprise
Four consecutive blocks announced as three prefixes, starting one step past the boundary that would have made them one.
What it's used for
- A corporate network. 1,024 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The prefixes are
198.246.149.0/24,198.246.150.0/23and198.246.152.0/24. - Together they cover four consecutive blocks with nothing missing between them.
- All three are netname
BI-NET, registered toBI. - The registrant name is two letters; the AS handle is
BIPERFORMANCE-ASN. - Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A run of four blocks can be announced as one prefix only when it starts at a multiple of four. This run starts one past that point, so it straddles the boundary and no single announcement can cover it. The result is three routes where the address count suggests one, and the cause is which block happened to be free on the day the space was assigned.
- A two-letter registrant is close to the shortest name the registry will hold. Searching for it returns everything, which makes the record hard to find by the name it is filed under and easy to find by the address it describes.
- The handle spells the company out and the registry entry abbreviates it, so neither leads to the other by text alone.

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 2026-10-22, 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 2026-10-23. 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.
