Summary
DATASERV
business hosting
Holder, handle and registrant are one word in capitals; the netname is something else entirely.
What it's used for
- A small network. A single IPv4
/23announced from the United States, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The holder name, the AS handle and the registrant are the same string, in capitals, with no corporate form and no punctuation.
- The netname is
DIL-37, which shares no letters with that string and carries a counter that matches nothing else in the record. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The routing history begins in 2000.
Interesting
- Three fields agreeing exactly and a fourth agreeing with nothing is the useful shape here. The netname was written by whoever issued the block, using their own scheme, and it survived the assignment. Nothing in the record explains what those three letters stand for, and nothing ever will.
- A holder name in bare capitals with no corporate form is common in older registrations and it makes automated matching harder than it looks: the same company written in mixed case elsewhere will not match, and there is no legal form to anchor a search on.
- Five hundred addresses behind two upstreams, nothing answering in reverse, and a name that appears nowhere else. This is what a network looks like when it has outlived the paperwork that describes it.

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 2026-10-30, 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 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
