Summary
GlobalView Software
business enterprise hosting
The handle field holds an entire display line, punctuation and all.
What it's used for
- A commodity trading software vendor's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle is recorded as the number, a separator and the company name in full, spaces and trailing full stop included.
- The whole footprint is
206.155.48.0/24, carrying the netnameCENTURYLINK-LEGACY-SAVVIS-BLK122and registered to the carrier. - That netname stacks two carrier names and a block counter.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A handle is supposed to be a short identifier, and this one is the whole line a lookup tool would print. Somebody pasted the output of a query back into the form that generates it, and the registry accepted the result.
- The netname records an acquisition in the order it happened, naming the acquired carrier's brand after the acquiring one, then numbering the block within that inherited series. Three names for one set of addresses, none of them the customer's.
- Software for commodity trading is delivered to desks that need it live, so the two upstreams here matter more than the modest address count.
- The same handle-holds-the-display-line pattern turns up elsewhere in this range, so the form responsible is not unique to this entry.

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 2026-10-20, 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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
