Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Nexavo
isp hosting
Every address answers with a domain that is the AS number itself.
What it's used for
- A network provider's network in Canada. 256 IPv4 addresses in a single prefix alongside two IPv6 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- All three sampled addresses answer as
as14490.net, with no per-address label at all. - That domain is the AS number, registered as a name in its own right.
- The IPv6 blocks are
2602:fa70:30::/44and2602:fa70:390::/48, and the second does not sit inside the first. - The IPv4 block is
23.165.168.0/24, carrying the netnameNEXAVO.
Interesting
- Registering a domain named after your AS number is a small piece of operator vanity that turns out to be useful: anybody who reverse-resolves an address gets the network's identity immediately, with no lookup in a registry. It is also the shortest possible answer, since every address returns the same string.
- The two IPv6 blocks come from the same allocation but are announced separately rather than as one covering prefix, which is a choice about how traffic should be steered rather than about how the space was assigned.
- Four neighbours on a network this small says the operator peers rather than simply buying transit.
- Handle, netname and registrant all agree, so nothing here has been renamed.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
