AS16766 -Reserved AS-
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Island Technology, Inc.
isp hosting business
The registry calls this number reserved, and it announces more sixth-version prefixes than fourth.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Seven IPv4 prefixes and ten sixth-version prefixes announced from the United States, nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-four addresses, through three observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The AS handle is the registry's placeholder text for a number held in reserve, dashes included, rather than any name.
- The holder line does give a name, the company's three words hyphenated in capitals.
- All seven blocks are registered to that company under one netname: two letters and a three-digit number, with no word for a network and no counter.
- Those two letters are the company's initials and also the usual abbreviation for a technology department, so the label reads two ways.
- Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- The reserved placeholder is not unique to this holder. It is what a registry writes when the number's own record was never filled in, and it survives because nothing in routing reads that field.
- More sixth-version prefixes than fourth is unusual and points at a provider that got its newer space in one grant and has been splitting it for customers, while the older space was accumulated a piece at a time.
- One netname across two unrelated parent ranges means the company files by owner rather than by purpose, so the registry cannot tell you what any of it is for.

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 2026-10-11, 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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
