Unclassified RIPE
Summary
BP International
enterprise business infrastructure
A handle carrying one country's code, and a netname naming a block that is not the one it is on.
What it's used for
- An energy group's corporate network. Eight IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, eight thousand four hundred and forty-eight addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the brand, a two-letter country code and the digit one. That country is not the one the blocks are announced from, and the digit implies a second handle somewhere.
- Seven of the eight blocks share a single netname: the brand and the word for a network, with no date, no country code and nothing to tell them apart.
- The eighth adds four octets to that netname, and those octets are not its own. Its third octet differs from the one the name claims.
- That eighth block is registered to the group's company in a different country, while the other seven name the international arm and a hostmaster.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A netname built from an address is only correct until the block moves or is split, and this one is already wrong. It was copied from a neighbouring block and the octets were never updated.
- A serial number in a handle is a promise about the rest of the set. Somewhere there is meant to be a second one, and the record gives no way to find 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 2026-10-31, 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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
