AS16715 ARISTOTLE-ASN
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Aristotle Internet Access
isp telecom business
The registrant's legal name has a domain suffix inside it.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Three IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the United States, three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight addresses, through six observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The holder line gives a three-word name. The AS handle keeps only the first word and adds the three letters for an autonomous system number.
- The registrant is a fourth version: that same first word, a full stop, a three-letter domain suffix, and a corporate form. The company's registered name contains a domain.
- All three blocks carry one netname: the first word, the three letters for an internet service provider, and the word for a network.
- The three blocks are pieces of a single parent range at three sizes.
- Nine addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- A domain suffix inside a legal name dates a company to when the suffix was the identity. The name was chosen to be typed into an address bar, and it has been the registrant of record ever since.
- Four spellings across four fields, all built from one word, is drift constrained by a strong brand. The first word survives every transformation; everything after it is negotiable.
- Six upstreams for three thousand addresses is a provider that treats being reachable as the product.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-18, 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 1,784 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.
