Summary
Individually held network
research measurement infrastructure
One of the announcements is a /26, far smaller than the global routing table normally carries.
What it's used for
- A network held by an individual rather than a company. Ten IPv4 prefixes and six IPv6 prefixes announced from the Netherlands, three thousand addresses, across nine observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- One IPv4 announcement is a
/26, four times smaller than the smallest size most networks will accept from a peer, so it can only be useful where a specific arrangement carries it. - Not one of the ten IPv4 blocks is registered to the holder. Six belong to one global carrier, one to a hardware and software vendor, one to that carrier's national arm, and one to two named individuals.
- The six IPv6 prefixes come from six unrelated ranges, including one the registry uses for measurement infrastructure.
- Blocks span address space administered by two different regional registries while being announced from one country.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A network assembled entirely from other people's address space is what an operator running experiments looks like. The blocks are borrowed, the announcements are the point.
- Announcing a
/26is not an error so much as a demonstration. It shows exactly which paths carry prefixes that long, which is information you cannot get any other way. - Six IPv6 prefixes and ten IPv4 ones on three thousand addresses is heavily weighted toward the newer protocol, which is the opposite of almost everything else in this range.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
