PACKETSURGE is operated by Open Contributors Corporation for Advanced Internet Development, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries a mix of corporate and service-specific allocations, including netnames
TWDX-NETBLK-ARIN-2for TowardEX Technologies,AMPRNETfor Amateur Radio Digital Communications, andMERLI-6for MerlinOne, LLC. - With 3072 IPv4 addresses and 11 IPv6 prefixes announced against only 2 observed neighbours, the low neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than an access network.
Notable
- Registrants vary significantly across the announced prefixes, including Open Contributors Corporation, TowardEX Technologies International, Inc., MerlinOne, LLC, Amateur Radio Digital Communications, Gary Jonas Computing Ltd., and KJF Consulting.
- The address inventory consists of nine IPv4 prefixes, ranging from /23 blocks to /24s, alongside a substantial IPv6 allocation under the 2001:4830::/32 space.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
