Summary
Vantage Labs
business hosting enterprise
A support queue named as the registry contact, which is better than most alternatives.
What it's used for
- A technology company's network. 1,024 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
199.7.240.0/22, carrying the netnameVLABS. - The netname and the AS handle are the same five letters, an abbreviation of the company name.
- The contact on the record is a customer support queue rather than a named person.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Pointing the registry at a support queue is an unglamorous choice that works. A queue outlives employees, gets read on weekdays, and turns an abuse report into a ticket somebody has to close. The alternative, a person who left in a previous decade, is far more common in records this old.
- One block from a range issued when a thousand addresses were routine, held ever since, with no second allocation and no IPv6, describes a company whose network requirements settled early and never changed.
- Two upstreams is the smallest arrangement that justifies running an AS at all, and it is what most organisations this size settle on.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS means the addresses are used rather than advertised. A scan finds live space and learns nothing about what it is for, which is the outcome the operator would want.

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 2026-10-21, 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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
