AS17054 EXPEDIENT
Hosting ARIN
Summary
Expedient
hosting datacenter cloud business
The AS handle EXPEDIENT is held by Expedient, an American data center and cloud infrastructure provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for cloud computing and data center services, as indicated by the registrant netnames such as
EXPEDIENT-11,EXPEDIENT-12, andCBL-169. - The AS announces 310,784 IPv4 addresses across 115 prefixes and 8 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 43 observed neighbours. This ratio of a large address inventory to a moderate number of peering partners suggests a role focused on hosting and serving enterprise or business clients rather than pure transit.
Notable
- All sampled registrants in the RDAP data are listed as "Expedient," which aligns perfectly with the AS holder name.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into numerous /18, /19, and /20 blocks, indicating a structured internal corporate estate or site-by-site segmentation typical of a large data center operator.
- The network has been observed in routing tables since 2000-08-18.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
