Unclassified ARIN
Summary
NTT Global Networks
business enterprise ntt virtela
The AS handle VIRTELA-1 is held by NTT Global Networks Incorporated.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames like
VRTL-NET-8andVRTL-NET-1and reverse DNS entries pointing tovirtela.net. - With 22,528 IPv4 addresses announced across 55 prefixes and only 2 observed neighbours, the inventory suggests a large internal corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as NTT Global Networks Incorporated, with some entries also listing Virtela Global Operations Center, aligning with the AS handle.
- NTT Global Networks Incorporated is the successor to Virtela, which was acquired by NTT, explaining the dual branding in the registry data.
- The inventory consists of 55 IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes, showing a finely subdivided address space typical of a large enterprise.

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 2026-10-26, 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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
