Two answering addresses, two dead access technologies, and a handle that is a city and a country.
What it's used for
- A services and access provider. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Spain, no IPv6, nine thousand two hundred and sixteen addresses, across twenty observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the brand, the capital city and the country name with a hyphen between them, so the field reads as a postal line rather than an identifier.
- Five of the seven blocks share a netname of country code, brand and one date, all registered on the same day.
- A sixth reverses the order to brand then country code and lists only an abuse department, with the company absent. A seventh keeps the country-code-first form but drops the date.
- Two of eighteen queried addresses answered. One names a point-to-point dial-up session with a four-digit number; the other gives the four numbers of the address in reverse order followed by the letters for a copper broadband line.
- Both surviving names describe access technologies that predate almost everything else still routed here.
Interesting
- Reverse zones are the last place old technology is admitted. A provider replaces the equipment, keeps the addresses, and the names describing modem pools stay until somebody regenerates the zone.
- Seven blocks carved from two ranges with one registration date between five of them is a single allocation subdivided for internal accounting, not seven separate grants.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
