AS16732 VELOCOM
Unclassified LACNIC
Summary
VELOCOM
isp telecom mobile
One reverse name loses its last letters, and the lookup zone is appended to the wreckage.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes announced from Argentina, no sixth-version space, six thousand nine hundred and twelve addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Every netname is an address range written with spaces around the dash, and the seven blocks resolve to just two such ranges, each named for its parent rather than for itself.
- All eighteen queried addresses answered, on one provider domain, and the names describe services: a mobile broadband standard, a core, a wireless dynamic pool, a fixed wireless product, voice, and one marked reserved.
- Most carry a three or four-letter locality code, and two name a city outright.
- One name is cut short. The domain ends mid-suffix, one letter into its final part, and the reverse lookup zone for the address is appended after it.
Interesting
- The truncated name is a generator writing into a fixed-width field. The domain overran, the tail was dropped, and because the record still ends in the lookup zone it answers a query and looks valid.
- Names at both the first and last address of a range mean the whole range was templated at once, so addresses nobody has ever used still resolve.
- Voice, mobile and fixed wireless labels on one provider's space is a service history in the zone file: each product line got its own word, and none of the words were ever retired.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-30. 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.
