Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Brazos Internet
isp telecom business
The same netname filed twice, once with a hyphen and once without, and reverse names answered by somebody else's domain.
What it's used for
- A regional ISP's network. 4,352 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
96.46.208.0/20carries the netnameBRAZOS-NETand137.118.84.0/24carriesBRAZOSNET, both registered toBrazos Internet.- Three of six sampled addresses returned names of the form
137-118-84-64.neonova.net, under a domain that is neither the company's nor the netname's. - The AS first appeared in routing on
2001-03-29.
Interesting
- Two filings of the same word, differing only by a hyphen, are the clearest possible sign of two separate visits to the registry years apart with no reference to what was done the first time. Nothing checks for this, so nothing prevents it.
- The reverse names belong to a company that sells DNS and support services to small ISPs. Outsourcing the reverse zone is cheap, and the cost is that every subscriber address publicly advertises which vendor the operator buys from. Anyone mapping the small-ISP market can do it from reverse DNS alone.
- Only the older, smaller block has names at all. The newer
/20stays silent, so the outsourced zone covers what was there when the contract was signed and nothing since. - Two neighbours and two prefixes: a network sized for a river valley and no larger.

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: 453 networks and 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. 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.
