Summary

transit telecom infrastructure
One hundred and eighty-six observed neighbours, and one reverse name in eighteen tries.
What it's used for
- A regional fibre carrier. Thirty-nine IPv4 prefixes and two IPv6 prefixes announced from the United States, with a hundred and eighty-six observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- That neighbour count is far above anything else in this range, where two or three is typical and thirty is a lot.
- Most blocks carry the netname
UPNLwhile two useUPNLLC-19, which adds the corporate form and a number to the same initials. - The registrant is written with a trailing period after the corporate form on every block, which is enough to break an exact match against the same name written without one.
- One announced block is registered to a public school district under its own netname.
- One of eighteen sampled addresses answered, and the name identifies a secure mail host under a domain unrelated to the carrier.
Interesting
- The neighbour count is the whole story. A network with sixty-five thousand addresses and nearly two hundred peering relationships is selling connectivity between other people's networks rather than hosting anything itself, and the empty reverse zone is consistent with that: there are few machines here, only paths.
- Carrying a school district's own registered block is what a carrier does for public-sector customers who want their addresses to survive a contract change. The registry shows the school district; the routing shows the carrier.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
