Summary

ixp legacy
INEX, the Internet Neutral Exchange Association, Ireland's main internet exchange point, based in Dublin.
What it's used for
- Peering fabric where Irish and international networks exchange traffic locally.

Interesting
- INEX was founded in 1996 to keep Irish internet traffic in Ireland, and the low AS number reflects that early start.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
