AS16758 RICOH USA
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Ricoh USA, Inc.
enterprise business
The AS handle has a space in it, which is unusual enough to be worth saying out loud.
What it's used for
- A manufacturer's network. Twenty-five IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no sixth-version space, eight thousand one hundred and ninety-two addresses, through thirteen observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the brand and a country short form separated by a space rather than a hyphen or nothing, where almost every handle avoids spaces entirely.
- Every block is registered to the holder, and the netnames come in two forms.
- Both begin with two letters for an internal technology department, then the brand, then the same country short form.
- The blocks in one parent range stop there. Those in the other add a four-letter short form of another company and a two-digit number.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Putting a department's initials at the front of every netname is a company treating address space as an internal asset with an owning team, the same way a server or a licence would be tagged. It is a filing convention, not a network one.
- The extra short form on one range marks it as arriving with a business rather than being requested, and the department prefix was added in front afterwards to bring it into the house scheme.
- Thirteen upstreams on eight thousand addresses is a lot, and it fits a company whose machines sit in other people's offices worldwide.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
13 upstream, 0 downstream and 13 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-20, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
