Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Mavenir
telecom business enterprise
The handle names a company that no longer exists, and the netname misspells the one that does.
What it's used for
- A telecoms software company's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Israel, no IPv6, five hundred and twelve addresses, across five observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is an entirely different company name from the holder field, the predecessor brand that this business was assembled from.
- One netname is a country code, the current brand with two letters transposed, and a date from the early nineteen-nineties, which makes it one of the oldest registrations in this range.
- The transposition means the netname spells the company's name wrong in a field that cannot be edited casually, and it has stayed wrong for three decades.
- The other netname is a town name and a four-digit number, a form that reads as a street address rather than a network label, on a block registered to staff and an abuse role without the company name.
- Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Telecoms software firms merge constantly, and each merger leaves the previous name somewhere it cannot be reached. A handle is close to permanent once other people's configurations reference it.
- A netname naming a town on the other side of the world from the announcing country is the fingerprint of a headquarters move. The addresses stayed where they were assigned; the company did not.

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 2026-10-20, 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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
