AS14054 -Reserved AS-
Hosting ARIN
Summary
Purple Computer North America
hosting business infrastructure
Seventy-nine BGP neighbours, and a registry handle that reads as reserved.
What it's used for
- A computing company's network. 1,280 IPv4 addresses across two prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and seventy-nine observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle field reads
-Reserved AS-where every other number in this range carries a mnemonic. - Both IPv4 blocks carry the netname
PURPLENETand are registered to the company by name. - The IPv6 announcement is
2602:f476:1::/48, a single end-site block. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Seventy-nine neighbours against 1,280 addresses is one of the most lopsided ratios in this range. That many relationships is what a network gets by joining internet exchanges and peering with everyone present, which costs almost nothing per additional neighbour and buys direct paths that no amount of address space would.
- The handle reading as reserved means the record for the number itself does not name a holder, even though the address blocks under it do. The two registries of AS numbers and address blocks are maintained separately and can disagree, and here they do.
- A single end-site IPv6 block alongside that peering footprint is a striking mismatch: the network talks to the whole world over IPv4 and offers the smallest standard slice of IPv6 in return.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS keeps the purpose of the addresses to itself.

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 1,772 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.
