Unclassified ARIN
Summary

business enterprise infrastructure
The registry says which block is the data centre and which is the fallback site.
What it's used for
- A subsea engineering company's network. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
172.99.168.0/23carries the netnameOII-HOUSTON-DATACENTERand198.54.171.0/24carriesOII-DISASTER-RECOVERY.- The other two blocks carry netnames that are only their own addresses with dashes,
65-124-70-0-24and208-46-106-0-24. - The company's name is written in capitals on the two descriptive records and in mixed case on the two generated ones.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Two of these records were typed by somebody at the company who knew what the blocks were for, and two were generated by a tool that had only the address to work with. The capitalisation splits the same way, which confirms the split rather than merely suggesting it.
- Publishing which range is the recovery site is more than most organisations would choose to say. It tells anyone reading where to look when the main site is unreachable, and it dates from a time when the registry was treated as an operational notebook rather than a public document.
- Three upstreams for a company whose work happens on vessels and offshore platforms fits a business where the link back to shore matters more than the size of the network.
- The absence of any published reverse names keeps the estate itself opaque.

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 2026-10-27, 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: 447 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.
