Summary
ropa GmbH
transit isp municipal broadband
AS197637 is operated by ropa GmbH.
What it's used for
- The address space carries municipal broadband infrastructure, evidenced by netnames like
DE-ROPANETandDE-ROPA-L1, and reverse DNS entries such asstatic.isp.ropa.netandserver1-b.ropa-net.de. - With 32,256 IPv4 addresses announced across 27 prefixes and 101 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or carrier-grade role rather than a pure access network.
- ropa GmbH provides telecommunications services specifically designed to support city utilities (Stadtwerke) in managing sustainable and efficient municipal broadband supply.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are
ropa GmbHorropa NOC, while several blocks including31.220.64.0/21and159.48.32.0/22are registered toTerraTransit AG, suggesting leased or historically acquired space. - The inventory consists of a mix of /21, /22, and /23 blocks, with the largest allocations being /21s, indicating a segmented corporate estate rather than a single contiguous allocation.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
