Summary
Kernel AS
residential isp estonia access
KERNEL-AS is operated by Kernel AS.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
ip-254-117-250-80.kylatee.kodu.eeandip-128-124-250-80.kylatee.kodu.ee. - The network announces 2560 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes in Estonia, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a local access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for residential internet services provided by Kernel AS.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes list Kernel AS, matching the AS holder.
- The address inventory is compact, consisting of a /21 and a /23 block, both registered under the netname
EE-KERNEL-20051111.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 1 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, 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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
