Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Sony Europe
business corporate infrastructure
The AS handle EU-SONY is operated by Sony Europe B.V.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure for Sony's European operations, evidenced by netnames such as
Sony_Europe_Network_HubandNL-SONY-970604. - The inventory includes 10240 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 64 IPv6 prefixes, with 9 observed neighbours, indicating a private corporate network rather than a public transit or access provider.
Notable
- Registrants align with the announcer, including Sony Europe B.V. and Sony Mobile Communications AB, reflecting the corporate structure and historical integration of Sony Ericsson assets.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /24 and /23 blocks under the
Sony_Europe_Network_Hubnetname, consistent with internal site-by-site segmentation for a large multinational corporation.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
7 upstream, 2 downstream and 13 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, 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 1,773 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.
