AS15753 BP-US-2 BP International Ltd
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
BP International
enterprise business infrastructure
The second of a numbered pair. The handle before this one ends in one; this one ends in two.
What it's used for
- An energy group's corporate network. Six IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, four thousand six hundred and eight addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the brand, a two-letter country code and the digit two, and the number immediately before this one carries the same string ending in one.
- That country is not the one either set of blocks is announced from.
- Three blocks share a netname built from the brand, the word for a network and four octets. None of the three sits in the block those octets name.
- The same netname appears on a block belonging to the number before this one, so one name now covers four blocks across two autonomous systems, and matches none of them.
- Two further blocks use a four-character netname with a digit, listing a global network services contact.
- One block's registry lookup failed, so its details are unknown rather than absent.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A serial number in a handle usually leaves the reader guessing where the rest of the set is. Here the answer is the next number in the sequence, which is as tidy as this ever gets.
- One netname across four blocks, correct for none of them, is what copying a template does. The name was right once and has been inherited ever since.

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 2026-11-08, 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: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
