AS27668 ETAPA EP
Unclassified LACNIC Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
ETAPA
cable dsl isp ecuador
The AS handle ETAPA EP is held by ETAPA, an Ecuadorian cable and DSL internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
etapanet.net(e.g.,255.186-43-191.etapanet.net,0.191-100-160.etapanet.net). - The network announces 125,952 IPv4 addresses and 13 IPv6 prefixes across 41 IPv4 prefixes, while maintaining only 3 observed routing neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access/eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All available RDAP registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as
ETAPA EP, consistent with the AS holder name. - The address inventory is fragmented into numerous small prefixes, including multiple /22 and /23 blocks within the 190.94.0.0/16 and 201.238.0.0/16 ranges, alongside larger /17 and /18 allocations.

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 2026-10-10, 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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
