Interesting
- Space registered to a large carrier and announced by somebody else is address space that came with the circuit. The customer grew large enough to want its own AS but kept the addresses, so the registry still names the carrier while the routing names the customer.
- Two domains for one company, one spelled out and one abbreviated, both carrying live reverse records. Whichever came second never replaced the first.
- The reverse names put a town in the label, so an address tells you which community it serves before you look anything up. That is a naming scheme built by people who think in places rather than in racks.
- A registrant that is a separate named company on one
/24is a business customer whose addresses stayed in its own name, which is the same story as the carrier blocks told from the other end.

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 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
