AS16615 -Reserved AS-
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
AS16615
media business infrastructure
The registry has no holder for this number, and its one block carries a brand the company has since changed.
What it's used for
- A single routed network. One IPv4 prefix announced, no IPv6, two hundred and fifty-six addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour. The holder lookup failed, so its details are unknown rather than absent.
Notable
- The AS handle is the registry's own placeholder for a number held back, the word for reserved with a hyphen on either side, sitting on a number that carries traffic.
- The one block is registered to a broadcasting company whose name ends in the word for communications, while the netname uses the same brand followed by the word for media, then the word block and a counter.
- The country of the announced block reads as unknown in the inventory, matching the missing holder record.
- Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
- One observed neighbour carries the single block.
Interesting
- A placeholder handle on a routed number means the registry's view and the routing table disagree about whether the number is in use. Only one of the two has packets moving through it.
- Two different words for the same company inside one record trace a rename that reached the letterhead and never reached the address registry.
- A counter of one on a company's only block is a bet that more will follow. Here, none did.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
