Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Colgate-Palmolive
enterprise business infrastructure
Its netnames are numbered 4, 8, 12, 14 and 17, and the gaps are the interesting part.
What it's used for
- A consumer goods company's network. 3,072 addresses across nine IPv4 prefixes plus
2620:133:2000::/40of IPv6, with two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Five blocks carry the company name with a number attached, running
COLGATE4,COLGATE8,COLGATE12,COLGATE14andCOLGATE17; a sixth carries the bare name. - Two blocks carry the netname
NET192, registered toVarious Registries (Maintained by ARIN). - One lookup failed, and eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS with none returning a name.
Interesting
- A counter reaching seventeen with only five of those filings announced here means the company has held at least seventeen separate blocks. The missing numbers are space that was returned, sold, or is routed somewhere this AS does not reach. The registry preserves the count even when it no longer preserves the blocks.
- Two blocks sit under a custodial record rather than a company one. That happens with assignments made before the modern registry existed: nobody filed the paperwork to claim them, so the registry holds them nominally while the original recipient continues to use them.
- Eight of the nine announcements fall in one contiguous region in
/23and/24fragments, which is a single old allocation announced only where it is still in use. - A
/40of IPv6 is a serious allocation for a company announcing three thousand IPv4 addresses, and it is the one part of this record built for the future rather than inherited from the past.

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 2026-10-11, 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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
