Summary
Nexusds.com
isp residential business canada
The AS handle NEXUSDS is operated by Nexusds.com, a Canadian regional internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like
172-84-47-254.nexusds.comand netnames such asNEXUSDS-NET3. - The AS announces 17920 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 11 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners indicates an access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as
NEXUSDS.COM, which aligns with the AS holder name. - The address inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 blocks, including a large /18 and three smaller /22 and /24 prefixes, all registered under the same entity.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
