Summary
RGnet
research legacy
RGNET-IAD — "RGnet Ashburn DC2" — is one of the RGnet networks associated with Randy Bush, a long-standing figure in internet routing and operations research. The holding entity, RGnet OU, is registered in Estonia.
What it's used for
- A small operator-and-research network. RGnet exists as working infrastructure for someone who builds and tests routing systems, not as a commercial service.
Notable
- Tiny by design: a single /24's worth of IPv4 and a couple of upstreams. Size here says nothing about significance.
- The
-IADsuffix marks the Ashburn, Virginia presence — one of the densest interconnection points on the planet, which is exactly where you would put a network built to observe routing. - Carried in the registry with legacy status and administered through RIPE, though the network's operations reach across regions.

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 2026-10-22, 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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
