Summary
Consolidated Smart Systems LLC
isp telecom infrastructure
Seventeen BGP neighbours on 11,520 addresses, far more connections than a network this size usually keeps.
What it's used for
- A broadband provider's network. 11,520 addresses across eight IPv4 prefixes plus three IPv6 prefixes, with 17 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Blocks in
63.249carry the netnameCSSBBwith aTier3 Supportcontact; blocks in74.213carryCSSBB-2. Both are registered toConsolidated Smart Systems LLC. - Each range is announced as a halving chain:
63.249runs/21,/22,/23,/24, and74.213runs/20,/21,/22,/23. - The IPv6 prefixes are
2607:ec80::/38,2607:ec80:800::/37and2607:ec80:1400::/38, three pieces of one allocation. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Seventeen neighbours is what a network gets by joining internet exchanges, where one connection buys peering with everyone else in the room. A provider serving many buildings across a metro area has good reason to do that, and few other ways to reach this count.
- Two ranges, two netnames and two identical halving chains say the same operator ran the same process twice. The habit is visible in the routing table long after whoever set it is gone.
- Splitting an IPv6 allocation into three announcements at two different lengths, rather than one, carries the IPv4 habit into a protocol that has no need for it.
- A support contact named for a tier tells you the registry record was filled in by someone reading off an org chart.

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.
