Summary

hosting business infrastructure
The registry records one block; the routing table shows three that add up to it exactly.
What it's used for
- A consulting and hosting company's network. Three IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, and three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- All three blocks share the netname
8-39-176-0-21, which describes a single larger allocation. - The three announced routes are a
/22and two/23blocks, and they tile that allocation with nothing left over and nothing overlapping. - Announcing them separately uses three entries in the global routing table where one would do, and every network on the internet carries all three.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- The registrant drops the corporate form that the AS handle's description keeps.
Interesting
- Splitting an allocation into its component routes is usually done to steer traffic: different pieces can leave by different upstreams, and with three neighbours there is somewhere for them to go.
- The netname is the honest record here. It names the allocation as it was issued, so the difference between it and the announcements is the operator's routing policy made visible.
- The blocks sit in one of the oldest parts of the address space, which is consistent with a company that bought from a large carrier early and has kept the same range since.

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 2026-10-27, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
