Summary
N6 Cloud
hosting isp business
A very large IPv6 allocation against two small IPv4 blocks, one of them anonymous.
What it's used for
- A cloud and hosting provider's network. 512 IPv4 addresses across two prefixes, one IPv6 prefix, and one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The IPv6 announcement is
2602:f96f::/40, an allocation far larger than the IPv4 footprint. 64.21.191.0/24carries the netnameN6-CLOUD-01and is registered to the company.50.114.11.0/24carries the netname50-114-11-0-24and is registered toPrivate Customer.- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The second netname is the block's own address with the separators changed and no prefix at all, which is the barest form of a name a registry will accept. Beside a withheld registrant, it leaves the entry saying nothing whatsoever.
- A single IPv6 block of this size can be divided among a very large number of customers, so the provider's real capacity is in the protocol most of its customers cannot yet reach.
- One upstream for a hosting provider is the fact that matters most here. Every customer on both protocols depends on one link and one relationship.
- The contrast between the two IPv4 records, one named and one anonymous, suggests space acquired from two sources with two different attitudes to disclosure.

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: 447 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
