Unclassified ARIN
Summary
C&S WHOLESALE GROCERS INC.
business enterprise infrastructure
The AS is named after a competitor that no longer exists, and its twelve prefixes form two identical halving chains side by side.
What it's used for
- A grocery wholesaler's own network. 16,384 addresses across 12 IPv4 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is
FLEMING, while every block is registered toC&S WHOLESALE GROCERS INC.under the single netnameCANDS-WHOLESALE-VERMONT. - All twelve prefixes come from
198.185, in two groups of six. - Each group runs
/24,/24,/23,/22,/21,/20, each starting where the previous ended, so the six pieces tile a larger block exactly. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two chains with the same shape means the same tool ran twice on two ranges. Nothing about a warehouse network needs that structure; it is the output of a program asked to cover a range with prefixes, and it was left as generated.
- A handle naming a company that was acquired and wound down turns the registry into a record of consolidation. The purchaser kept the AS number because renumbering costs more than living with the wrong name.
- The netname puts a state into the label. For a company operating distribution centres across a continent, naming the network after its headquarters is a choice that dates the record to when there was only one.
- No reverse names, no IPv6, four neighbours, one netname. A private network whose only public surface is the fact that it exists.

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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
