Summary
Birmingham City Council
government municipal uk public-sector
BGFL is the autonomous system for Birmingham City Council, the local government authority for the city of Birmingham in England.
What it's used for
- The address space carries municipal network infrastructure, evidenced by netnames
BIRMINGHAMCC,BCC-EXT2, andBCC-PUB-INT, and a reverse-DNS pointer toproxy.net.bgfl.org. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained internal network rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
Notable
- All registrants are listed as "BGFL Role; Abuse-C Role," consistent with the announcer being the local council itself.
- The inventory consists of five contiguous /24 and /23 blocks within the 80.249.0.0/16 range, reflecting a finely subdivided internal corporate estate typical of a large municipal organisation.

Interconnection

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 2026-10-14, 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.
