An IPv6-only announcement: one IPv6 block, no IPv4 at all.
What it's used for
- A broadband provider. One IPv6 prefix announced from Norway and no IPv4 whatsoever, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The network announces zero IPv4 prefixes and holds zero IPv4 addresses in inventory. Everything it originates is IPv6.
- That makes it one of a very small number of networks in this range with no legacy address space in the routing table at all.
- The holder field repeats the brand twice, once alone and once as part of the full company name, which ends in the two letters that also mean autonomous system in every other context on this page.
- Those two letters are the ordinary abbreviation for a joint-stock company in this country, so the collision is a coincidence of language rather than a naming choice.
- No addresses were queried for reverse DNS, because there is no IPv4 space to sample.
Interesting
- A provider announcing only IPv6 has either handed its IPv4 back, sold it, or moved it under a different number. Address space became a saleable asset once the free pool ran out, and a broadband operator with a customer base can be worth more without its legacy addresses than with them.
- Reading routing data means reading legal forms too. A suffix meaning a company in one language is a network term in another, and the fields that hold them do not distinguish.

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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
