AS14812 CNSX-PRIMARY
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
CNSX
finance infrastructure business
Ten upstreams for a single block of 512 addresses, and none of the addresses are its own.
What it's used for
- A stock exchange's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with ten observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
38.64.246.0/23, carrying the netnameCOGENT-A. - That block is registered to
Cogent Communications, LLC, not to the exchange. - The AS handle is
CNSX-PRIMARY, which implies a second number somewhere. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Ten neighbours is the highest count in this part of the range, and it sits on the smallest sort of network. An exchange is judged on whether participants can reach it during the trading day, so the sensible design is many paths into a very small target. Most businesses buy bandwidth; this one is buying independent ways in.
- Holding no address space of its own is the other half of the same trade. The AS number is what makes the many paths possible; the addresses are borrowed and would be renumbered if the provider changed. Independence where it matters, paperwork avoided where it does not.
- The word primary in the handle is the kind of label that only makes sense beside a secondary. Its counterpart is not visible here, which is what you would expect of a backup that is announced only when needed.
- Nothing published in reverse DNS suits a network whose users all connect by prior arrangement.

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.
