Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Lumos Networks
isp telecom infrastructure
Every reverse name declares the address unassigned, under a carrier that no longer exists.
What it's used for
- A regional fibre carrier. Twenty-eight IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, and a hundred and fifteen thousand addresses.
Notable
- Sixteen of eighteen sampled addresses answered, and every one of them writes the address into the host label followed by the word unassigned, under the domain of a predecessor carrier.
- Most netnames are the company name, a two-letter marker and a counter, running through a numbered series with gaps in it.
- One announced block is registered to the regional internet registry itself rather than to any company, under a netname that is just the word for network and the first octet.
- Another carries the
UU-prefix of a long-retired carrier and is registered to a fibre company in a different state. - One observed BGP neighbour carries all twenty-eight prefixes.
Interesting
- A reverse zone that answers for every address and labels each one unassigned is a wildcard covering space the carrier has not allocated to customers. It is honest, and it is also a free inventory: a scanner learns which addresses are unused without sending a single packet to them.
- The registry itself appearing as a registrant marks space held or reclaimed centrally, which is unusual to see inside an operating carrier's announcements.
- A numbered netname series with gaps is a record of assignments that were returned or transferred. The missing numbers are as informative as the present ones.

Reputation
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.
