The company announcing this block is not the company that holds it.
What it's used for
- A regional provider's network. 4,096 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
64.186.192.0/20carries the netnameESCONSULT-CL-20and is registered toES Consulting Inc., a different name from the one the AS is filed under.- The AS handle is
ACCNETWORKS. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Registry records and routing records answer different questions. One says who was granted the addresses; the other says who is putting them on the internet today. A gap between them is a merger, a rebrand, a holding company, or an arrangement between two firms that share an office, and the public record never says which.
- The netname reads as a contraction of the holder, a two-letter marker and the size of the block. That middle field is the interesting one: whoever wrote it was distinguishing this allocation from others they expected to hold, so the naming scheme was designed before it was needed.
- Three neighbours for a single
/20is a network that buys redundancy seriously, which suggests customers who notice when it goes down. - Nothing answers a reverse lookup, so what the space is used for stays inside the company.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-30, 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: 447 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
