Unclassified RIPE Educational/Research
Summary
Vandium
research academic ipv6
The AS handle VANDIUM-NET is held by Vandium.
What it's used for
- The space carries a single IPv6 prefix,
2001:678:e98::/48, with no IPv4 addresses announced. - The network announces 1 IPv6 prefix against 32 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
- As an educational and research entity, the traffic consists of academic and scientific data exchange.
Notable
- The registry holder is listed as Tobias Heinlein, which aligns with the individual operator nature of the network.
- The address inventory is minimal, consisting solely of the single /48 IPv6 block.

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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
