AS16197 INNOVANTI
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Innovanti
hosting business isp
Every field carries the same brand, and the reverse names are the address and nothing else.
What it's used for
- A hosting company's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, one thousand two hundred and eighty addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- All six queried addresses answered, and each name is just the four numbers of the address joined by hyphens followed by the company domain. There is no leading word for a host, no access technology and no site code.
- Both netnames use a country code, the brand and a date. The two dates are seven years apart, the later one recent enough to be one of the newest registrations in this range.
- Each block lists three contacts and all three carry the brand: an operations centre, the company, and an abuse contact.
- The AS handle is the brand alone, matching the netnames and the holder field.
Interesting
- Bare numeric reverse names are the minimum a zone can publish and still be useful. They confirm the address belongs to this network and say nothing more, which is all a mail server or a log reader actually needs.
- A company still acquiring address space in the last few years, in a market where blocks are bought rather than granted, is one that grew after the free pool ran out. The gap between the two dates is the price of that timing.

Reputation
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 1,783 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.
