Autonomous system
AS15818 LATVIJASGAZE-AS
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Latvijas Gaze
business enterprise infrastructure
The handle names a gas company, the netname names its distribution arm in lower case, and the only contact is a mobile operator.
What it's used for
- A gas utility's network. One IPv4
/24announced from Latvia, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is the utility's name run together with the two letters for an autonomous system.
- The block's netname is a different, shorter brand joined to the word for a network, written entirely in lower case where nearly every netname in this range is capitalised.
- The only registrant listed is the network operations centre of a mobile operator, with no object for the gas company at all.
- Two hundred and fifty-six addresses are announced as one route, the smallest that can be.
- The routing archive has carried this number since the earliest data it holds.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Energy companies across this region were split by law into a supplier and a network operator, and the netname is where that split shows up: the addresses now carry the distribution company's brand while the routing still carries the parent's.
- A telecoms operator as the sole contact means the utility never ran this itself. The gas company owns a number and a block; somebody else answers for both.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
