AS197440 CCTLD-IT-ANYCAST
Unclassified RIPE Non-Profit
Summary
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
research government anycast infrastructure
CCTLD-IT-ANYCAST is held by Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche.
What it's used for
- The space carries the anycast infrastructure for the .it country-code top-level domain, as indicated by the netname
CCTLD-IT-Anycast-NETand the registry handle. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix against 95 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than an access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of DNS resolution and registry services for the .it domain, supporting global name resolution for Italian internet resources.
Notable
- The registrant
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerchematches the AS holder, confirming direct ownership of the address space. - The address inventory is compact, consisting of a single /24 IPv4 block and a single /48 IPv6 block, typical for a dedicated anycast service rather than a broad operational estate.

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: 447 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.
