AS14844 CITY-OF-KILLEEN-TX-01
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
City of Killeen
government enterprise
The carrier's netname points at a block this city does not hold.
What it's used for
- A municipal government's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
65.126.78.0/24, carrying the netnameCENTURYLINK-LEGACY-QWEST-65-112-0and registered to the carrier. - The address embedded in that netname is not this block's address.
- All three sampled addresses answer under
killeentexas.gov, in the form65-126-78-64.killeentexas.gov. - The AS handle and the holder record are the same string, naming the city, its state and a counter.
Interesting
- The netname records two corporate generations of the same carrier and then names a parent range that this block sits inside rather than the block itself. Assignments made out of a larger legacy allocation inherit its label, so the number in the name describes the paperwork rather than the addresses.
- Against that, the reverse DNS is the city's own, on a government domain, so the same addresses present as municipal in one system and as carrier legacy space in another.
- Two upstreams for a city network covers the services residents reach directly along with the ones staff depend on internally.
- The counter on the handle implies the city registered more than one entry.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-26, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
