Summary
CTS LanguageLink
business telecom enterprise
Fourteen upstreams for five hundred addresses.
What it's used for
- A language services company's network. A single IPv4
/23announced from the United States, no IPv6, and fourteen observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Fourteen observed neighbours is more than most providers in this range manage with fifty times the address space.
- The netname is a truncated generic word with a counter attached, a label that names a category rather than the company, and it appears on the only block the company holds.
- The registrant is the company itself, so the generic netname is not a provider's leftover.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The routing history begins in 2000.
Interesting
- The ratio here is the point. Five hundred addresses is a single office's worth of space, and fourteen paths to reach it is the arrangement of a business that cannot afford to be unreachable. For a company whose product is interpreters answering calls, availability is the service.
- A netname that says only what kind of thing the block is tells you the label was chosen from a template. It costs nothing and carries nothing, which is the usual trade when a form has a required field.
- Small block, many upstreams, no reverse names: everything visible here is about staying connected, and nothing is about being identified.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
