Summary

Fifty-one IPv6 prefixes against two IPv4 blocks, nearly all of them carved out of one another.
What it's used for
- A managed IT and network services provider. 512 IPv4 addresses across two prefixes, and 51 IPv6 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The IPv6 announcements begin with
2602:ffbd::/41and then subdivide it repeatedly, including2602:ffbd:80::/44,2602:ffbd:90::/47,2602:ffbd:92::/47,2602:ffbd:94::/46and2602:ffbd:98::/45. - The covering block and its pieces are announced together, so the same addresses appear many times over.
64.61.197.0/24carries the netnameCITON-ENV-1,216.251.161.0/24carriesCITON-NET-1.- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- This is one of the most subdivided IPv6 footprints in the range, and it is the opposite of what the address space was designed for. IPv6 was meant to let an operator announce one large block and route inside it privately. Announcing the pieces as well puts the internal structure into every routing table in the world, and every one of those entries costs memory on other people's routers.
- The pattern usually comes from assigning a block per customer and announcing each one as it is sold, rather than from any routing requirement. It works, and it does not scale politely.
- The two IPv4 netnames differ by one word, which suggests one block was set aside for a specific environment and the other for general use.
- A provider with this much IPv6 and nothing published across the reverse DNS sample has done the harder half of modernisation and skipped the easier half.

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 2026-10-27, 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 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
