AS34997 INWX-ANYCAST
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
INWX
dns anycast business infrastructure
INWX-ANYCAST is operated by InterNetworX Management GmbH.
What it's used for
- The space carries anycast DNS infrastructure, evidenced by the AS handle
INWX-ANYCASTand the operator's provision of global anycast DNS services with DNSSEC support. - The AS announces 3 IPv6 prefixes and 0 IPv4 addresses, with a single observed neighbour, indicating a specialized service network rather than a general transit or access provider.
Notable
- The registry holder and AS handle align with the operator InterNetworX Management GmbH, commonly known as INWX.
- The address inventory consists solely of IPv6 prefixes, specifically
2a02:d500:4242::/48,2a12:79c0:e000::/47, and2a12:79c0:e002::/48, reflecting a modern, IPv6-centric deployment for its DNS services.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
