AS14499 ALORICA
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Alorica
business enterprise infrastructure
Forty prefixes, one netname, and it names a company that is not the registrant.
What it's used for
- A customer-service company's network. 133,376 addresses across 40 IPv4 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every block sampled carries the same netname,
NCOGROUP-FTW, and the same registrant,ALORICA INC, with a second contact listed asNWData. 170.8.0.0/16is announced whole, while the142.192range arrives as more than thirty separate pieces ranging from/18down to/23.- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The netname belongs to a business the registrant field no longer mentions, with a site code appended. Acquisitions rewrite the registrant, which is one field per block; the netname is the part nobody goes back for, so it keeps naming the company that first asked for the space.
- Announcing one contiguous range as thirty-odd pieces, all under a single netname and single holder, is deaggregation without a registry reason. The split has to come from how the network is built rather than how the addresses were allocated: separate sites, separate circuits, each advertising only its own slice.
- A network of 133,376 addresses with four neighbours and nothing answering a reverse lookup faces entirely inward. Call-centre floors need addresses to reach out from, not names to be reached by.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
6 upstream, 0 downstream and 6 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, 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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
