AS14404 CITY-OF-WICHITA-1 - City of Wichita
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
City of Wichita
government enterprise infrastructure
A city holding a provider-sized IPv6 allocation against 256 IPv4 addresses.
What it's used for
- A city government's network. 256 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix alongside an IPv6
2605:b1c0::/32, with three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- That IPv6 prefix is the size handed to providers rather than to end sites.
- The IPv4 block is
8.14.206.0/24, carrying the netnameLVLT-ORG-8-8and registered to a carrier. - The AS handle is
CITY-OF-WICHITA-1, spelled out with a counter. - Three observed neighbours, which is more than most single-block networks in this range carry.
Interesting
- A city with a provider-scale IPv6 allocation is running something wider than an office network: that much space is meant to be subdivided and handed out, whether to departments, to public facilities or to a municipal service. The IPv4 side is a single borrowed block, which is the usual asymmetry for anybody who arrived after the older space ran short.
- Three upstreams matters for a city, where emergency services, utility systems and public-facing sites all depend on the same routing staying up.
- The netname is a carrier's own organisational label rather than anything about Wichita, so the addresses say nothing about who uses them.
- Nothing is published in the reverse DNS for the sampled addresses.

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 2026-11-12, 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: 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.
