Summary
Virtela
business vpn enterprise legacy
VTLA is the autonomous system for Virtela, a legacy virtual private network provider now held by NTT Global Networks Incorporated.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate and enterprise traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
virtela.netand netnames such asVRTL-NET-1andVIRTELA-TOKYO-JP-NET-1. - With 1024 IPv4 addresses announced across 4 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the inventory suggests a small, self-contained corporate estate rather than a transit or access network.
Notable
- Registrants for the US-based prefixes are listed as NTT Global Networks Incorporated, with some entries also referencing Virtela Global Operations Center, indicating the space is managed under the NTT umbrella.
- The address inventory consists of four /24 blocks, including one in the 119.31.166.0/24 range associated with Tokyo, reflecting Virtela's historical global operations.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, 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.
