Unclassified RIPE NSP
Summary
IX-layers, Inc.
ix nsp japan infrastructure
KOCHI-IX is operated by IX-layers, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for the Kochi Internet Exchange, evidenced by netnames
IX-LAYERS-CIDR-BLK-JPandKOCHI-IX-CIDR-BLK-JP. - The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a specialized network exchange role rather than a large-scale transit or access provider.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes are listed as Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC), which is consistent with the holder being a Japanese entity.
- The address inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks:
202.126.16.0/22and218.100.15.0/24, alongside the IPv6 prefix2404:168::/32.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
