Summary
Institute of Automation and Control Processes
research education infrastructure
Every reverse name is the address written backwards, on a domain naming the regional branch rather than the institute.
What it's used for
- A research institute's network. Four IPv4 prefixes announced from the Russian Federation, no IPv6, three thousand and seventy-two addresses, across two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Five of twelve queried addresses answered, and all five are the four octets in reverse order followed by a three-letter domain.
- That domain is a contraction of the regional branch of the national academy, not of the institute named as holder, and it appears again as one block's netname with a country code.
- The other netnames are a country code, the institute's initials, and a date, with two blocks sharing the date
20160629. - The registrant text differs between blocks by one word: some name the branch of the academy, others the branch and the academy joined without it.
- The routing archive first saw this number in the middle of the first decade, later than most of its neighbours.
Interesting
- Reversed octets in a reverse name are not redundant, even though the lookup already knows the address. They make the answer self-describing, so a log line carrying only the name still tells you which address it came from.
- A branch domain shared across institutes is how academy networks were built: one regional operator ran the addresses and the DNS, and the individual institutes appear only in the paperwork.

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 2026-10-15, 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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
