The netnames are a facility inventory, and one of them misspells the word internet.
What it's used for
- A consumer goods manufacturer's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Germany, no IPv6, four and a half thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Four netnames follow one internal scheme: company initials, a region, a three letter site code, then what the block is for and a counter. They name name servers, address translation, and a private zone.
- One of those four spells internet with an extra letter, a typo preserved in a public database.
- The registrant on all four is that same site code rather than a company, so the accountable party is a location.
- The other three netnames append the block's own first octet to the company name and are registered to the parent company with its ampersand written out as a word.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Netnames that state a function tell an outsider which addresses run the name servers and which perform address translation, before a single packet is sent. That is internal documentation published by accident.
- Routing history for this number begins in 2013, which is late. The address space is far older, so the blocks were carried under someone else's number first.
- A manufacturer this large having only two upstreams and four thousand addresses shows how little of a corporation actually faces the internet.

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 2026-10-15, 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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
