Summary

isp infrastructure research
Half of this network is amateur radio address space, announced alongside an ordinary commercial block.
What it's used for
- A small network operator. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
23.139.120.0/24carries the netnameANSIBLE-NETWORKS-1and is registered to the operator.44.4.53.0/24carries the netnameAMPRNET, registered toAmateur Radio Digital Communications.- The AS handle is
ANSIBLE-NTP, ending in a protocol abbreviation rather than a company suffix. - Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The amateur radio block is the interesting half. That address space was set aside decades ago for packet radio experiments, and it is still administered by the radio community rather than sold. A slice of it appearing in ordinary BGP beside a commercial block means somebody with a licence is routing their allocation over the wired internet, which is exactly what the space is now used for.
- The handle naming a protocol suggests this number was obtained for a specific service rather than for a general network, and the protocol named is one where being reachable from many places matters more than having much address space.
- One upstream for both blocks is thin, and it makes the amateur allocation dependent on a single commercial relationship.
- Two blocks from two entirely different sources, announced by one number, is a good reminder that address space and the network announcing it are separate things.

Classification and threat

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
