AS15472 ASN-NEWSOFT TERRALINK - Internet Tecnology Company
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Terralink
isp hosting business
The AS handle describes the company as an internet technology firm, and misspells technology.
What it's used for
- A regional provider and hosting company. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Italy, no IPv6, five thousand addresses, through two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle ends with a description of the business, and the word for technology is missing a letter.
- Six of the seven blocks share one allocation date; the seventh is seventeen years later, so nearly all this address space arrived at once and one block was added much later.
- Every netname and the reverse domain use an older brand, while the registrant on all seven blocks is a differently named company.
- One answering address is
ATM1-0-75.GW2.VI1.DSL.nsoft.it, which names a switch interface, a gateway number, a site code and a subscriber line technology, all in capitals. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and two returned a name.
Interesting
- That one reverse name is a fossil. It describes an access technology and a switching layer that a network built today would not use, and it survived because nobody had a reason to change it.
- Two names for one company across every record is what a rebrand or acquisition looks like years afterwards, when the paperwork changed and the DNS did not.
- Two of eighteen addresses answering, with the rest silent, means most of this space is in use without any public naming behind it.

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 2026-10-24, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
