Summary
Lumen (Global Crossing / Level 3 legacy)
transit backbone legacy
A major global backbone (LVLT-3549) now operated by Lumen — the former Global Crossing network, which Level 3 acquired before merging into Lumen.
What it's used for
- Global IP transit and wholesale backbone connectivity, especially on long-haul and submarine routes Global Crossing originally built.
Notable
- Sits alongside AS3356 (the Level 3 core) inside Lumen; 3549 is the absorbed Global Crossing footprint, still announced under its own ASN.
- A Tier 1-class backbone reaching the whole internet via peering.
Interesting
- Global Crossing famously laid a global submarine-cable network in the late 1990s; that fibre lives on inside Lumen today.

Classification and threat
Transit Tier-1 or major backbone carrying other networks’ traffic.
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
1 IC3 indicators addresses in this network appear in FBI IC3 cybersecurity advisories.
| Prefix | Advisory | Published |

208.51.62.181 | China-Linked Hacking Group QTFY Targets Military and Critical Infrastructure with Malicious Distributed Systems | 2026-08-26 |
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
