Summary

Nine thousand addresses across eight routes, all behind one observed neighbour.
What it's used for
- A regional provider. Eight IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, nine thousand addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- One neighbour carries everything, so eight routes and three separate ranges all leave by the same door.
- Six blocks share a netname built from the AS handle's three-letter code with a network suffix and no date; one uses the country code with the trading brand and a date; one is written with underscores instead of hyphens.
- The AS handle continues past that code into a town name.
- The holder name and the netnames use two different brands for the same operator, and the contact roles mix both.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- Routing records first show this number some years after the ones around it appeared.
Interesting
- Underscores in a netname are legal and almost never used. One appearing in a single block means that record was created outside whatever process produced the other seven.
- A town in the AS handle places the network more precisely than any other field here, which matters for an operator whose addresses come from three unrelated ranges.
- Eight routes through one upstream means the split serves internal purposes only. From outside, the whole network has exactly one way in.

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: 443 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.
