Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Smith Bucklin & Associates
business enterprise
The carrier owns the block; the customer owns the reverse zone.
What it's used for
- An association management company's network. A single IPv4
/20announced from the United States, no IPv6, and four observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The block is registered to a carrier under the netname
COGENT-A, not to the holder. - All three sampled addresses answered, under the holder's own domain, in the form
i38-106-212-0.ip-addr.smithbucklin.com. - Those names put the address inside a dedicated subdomain and prefix it with a single letter, so the label never begins with a digit.
- The AS handle is
SBA, three letters, matching nothing else in the record.
Interesting
- This is the reverse of the usual arrangement in this range. Most holders own their address space and let a carrier publish the reverse names; here the carrier owns the space and the customer runs the reverse zone under its own domain. Anything identifying organisations by reverse name gets this one right and anything reading the registry gets it wrong.
- The leading letter is a real convention rather than decoration. Host name labels that start with a digit have historically confused older software, and prefixing a letter sidesteps that for every address in the block.
- A dedicated subdomain for address-derived names keeps them out of the namespace used for real services, which is tidy and makes the zone trivially generated.
- Four upstreams behind one block is more transit than the space needs.

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 2026-10-18, 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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
