AS15880 CHIKALIN-AS
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Private entrepreneur network
isp business telecom
A number in a range issued at the start of the century that the routing archive did not see for another ten years.
What it's used for
- A sole trader's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, three thousand and seventy-two addresses, across three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The registrant is a private entrepreneur rather than a company, and the AS handle is built from a surname with the two letters for an autonomous system.
- Both netnames are built from that same surname, one with the three letters for a network attached and one without, so the two blocks were registered under different habits.
- The routing archive first saw this number a decade after the numbers around it, which means it sat unused or unrouted for years before anyone announced anything under it.
- Three thousand addresses across two blocks, with three upstreams, which is more redundancy than the size suggests.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- One person is the legal holder of a routable network here. That is unusual only in paperwork: the registries were built for organisations, and a sole trader has to be recorded as one anyway.
- Three upstreams for three thousand addresses is a lot of transit for the size, and it is what a small provider buys when the customers are local businesses who notice an outage.

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 2026-10-21, 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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-22. 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.
