Summary
Avnet
enterprise business infrastructure
One netname records the exact minute the record was created; another is cut off mid-word.
What it's used for
- An electronics distributor's network. 2,816 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with six observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
149.17.3.0/24carries the netnameATTCUST-MX-AVNET-20240509-2050, a carrier prefix, the company, a date and a time.12.9.136.0/22carriesAVNETCO43-136, registered toAVNETCO TANGOE CONTENT MANAG, a name that stops mid-word.- Two blocks carry
PREMIER-INDUSTand are registered toNewark Corporation. 64.240.230.0/23carriesSAVV-AVNET-1, naming a carrier that has not traded under that name in many years.
Interesting
- A netname carrying a timestamp to the minute is generated, not written. Somewhere in that carrier's provisioning system, a script builds an identifier from the customer, the service type and the clock, and the result is now a permanent public record of when a circuit was configured.
- The truncated registrant is the same field limit that mangles names throughout this range, here cutting a third-party expense management vendor's contribution off in the middle of a word.
- One acquired company's netname and one acquired company's registrant survive under a group that bought both. Address records are where corporate history goes to be preserved by accident.
- Six neighbours and nothing published in reverse DNS: a distributor with real connectivity requirements and no public services on its own space.

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 2026-11-08, 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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
