Autonomous system
AS16730 AS16730 - Royal Bank of Canada
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Royal Bank of Canada
finance enterprise business
Ten blocks share one netname and one site code, and the eleventh keeps the registry's legacy prefix.
What it's used for
- A bank's network. Eleven IPv4 prefixes announced from Canada, no sixth-version space, five thousand six hundred and thirty-two addresses, through three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the two letters for an autonomous system, the number, a dash, and the holder's full four-word name.
- Ten blocks, at four different sizes, all carry one netname: the bank's three initials run together with the word for a network.
- Their registrant is the full name followed by a semicolon and a code that reads as three initials, a three-letter word for a point of presence, and a zero-padded counter.
- The eleventh block sits in a different parent range, is registered without that code, and its netname carries the registry's legacy block prefix ahead of the initials.
- One of eighteen queried addresses answered, on a six-letter domain that is not the bank's name, with a hostname of five letters and a three-digit number.
Interesting
- Ten blocks under one netname and one site code is a single facility that kept being extended. Each new range was filed against the same label rather than given its own, so the registry shows a place rather than a purpose.
- The odd block out is older: the legacy prefix marks a record predating the current registration format, which is why it alone missed the site code that was applied to everything else.

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 2026-11-07, 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: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
