Summary

business enterprise

The netname ends in the name of the protocol, which is the reason the block exists.

What it's used for

  • A corporate network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, one observed BGP neighbour, and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • The block is 67.159.198.0/24, netname ALE-SOLUTIONS-BGP, registered to ALE Solutions Inc.
  • The AS handle is ALE-SOLUTIONS-INC.
  • Routing was first seen in 2000.
  • Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

  • Naming a block after the routing protocol says what the space is for rather than who owns it. This is the address range the company took specifically so it could announce its own routes, as distinct from whatever it uses inside, and somebody wanted that distinction recorded where the next person would see it.
  • The handle and the netname differ by one word each, keeping the company name and swapping the suffix. Two fields written by the same hand, on different days, for different purposes.
  • A /24 with one upstream is the smallest network that can hold its own AS number and still be routed globally. It buys portability, not capacity: the addresses stay the same when the provider changes.

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.
