Unclassified ARIN NSP
Summary
8x8
telecom business infrastructure
138 neighbours for 8,192 addresses is a ratio that only voice traffic explains.
What it's used for
- A cloud communications provider. 8,192 addresses across fifteen IPv4 prefixes, 138 observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The netnames include
FUZE,FUZE-206-81-176,8X8INC,THINK-24,M8X8INCandUK-VOICENET-20160609. - The UK block is registered to
8X8 UK Limited; two ranges carry an incident-response handle,IRT-M8X8INC4-AP. - Every block is placed in the United States, including the ones whose handles end
-AP. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Blocks named
FUZEandTHINK-24sitting alongside blocks named8X8INCunder one registrant is what buying other companies looks like in the registry. The addresses move to the new owner and the netnames stay, so the acquisition history survives in a field nobody thought to update. UK-VOICENET-20160609carries the date of its own registration inside the name, which makes the record self-dating and makes any second registration on the same day collide.- Peering with this many networks on this little space is a voice operator's choice. A call crossing fewer networks arrives with less delay, so the provider connects directly to as many as it can rather than handing traffic to a transit carrier and hoping.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
