Unclassified ARIN NSP
Summary
Virtela
business managed legacy
VTLA is operated by NTT Global Networks Incorporated, formerly known as Virtela.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate and managed network infrastructure, evidenced by netnames like
VRTL-NET-1and reverse DNS entries pointing tovirtela.net. - With 1536 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and only 3 observed neighbours, the low neighbour count relative to the address inventory suggests a business or internal corporate estate rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants are largely consistent with the announcer, listing NTT Global Networks Incorporated for five of the six prefixes, though one prefix (
205.235.119.0/24) is registered to VULCAN MATERIALS COMPANY under the netnameVMCNET. - The address inventory consists of six /24 blocks, all located in the United States, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
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: 432 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.
