Summary
MTC Communications, Inc.
isp telecom infrastructure
This network announces single addresses to the global routing table, at the bottom of a halving cascade that runs from /25 all the way to /32.
What it's used for
- A regional provider's network. 15,616 addresses across 25 IPv4 prefixes plus 19 IPv6 prefixes, with 25 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Inside
173.233.161.0, the announcements run/25,/26,/27,/28,/29,/30,/31and then two separate/32s, each starting where the previous one ended. - The IPv6 side does the same thing in the other direction:
2605:cd40::/47,2605:cd40:2::/47, then/46,/45,/44,/43,/42,/41,/40and/39, each twice the size of the last. - Netnames vary by era:
MTCCOMM-NET,MTCCOMM-NET-64-6-0-0-20,NET-74-206-40-0-21,NET-69-161-42-0-23andMC-3241, all registered toMTC Communications, Inc. - All eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, every one the address itself with the domain appended:
64.6.2.0.mtccomm.net.
Interesting
- A
/32in the global table is a single host route. Most networks filter prefixes longer than/24, so those announcements are visible to almost nobody, and whatever they were meant to accomplish mostly is not happening. - Both cascades are the same arithmetic. Splitting a range into every power of two below it is what a tool produces when told to cover an arbitrary start and end with prefixes, so both were almost certainly generated rather than typed.
- Reverse names that are the address plus the domain leave every host sitting four levels deep. It resolves; it just carries no information.
- Twenty-five neighbours for 15,616 addresses is a well-peered small network, which makes the unfilterable announcements more puzzling rather than less.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
